Abstract :
In this paper, a novel split-connection mechanism based on satellite transport protocol (STP) is presented. First, a mathematical proof of split TCP improving TCP performance is given. Secondly, a novel split-connection comprising of an end-to-to connection and three sub-connections is presented. Using OPNET, the impact of packet losses in satellite is analyzed when the split-connection mechanism is adopted. The simulation results demonstrate that high bit error rate in satellite link may prevent the establishment of the end-to-end connection due to TCP implementations of several operational systems.
