Abstract :
We analyze the effects of TCP algorithms on data transmission over IS-2000 links. We give details of our experience in emulating TCP over IS-2000 and discuss how bit errors and bandwidth oscillation can disturb TCP performance. We show that significant TCP throughput increase can be achieved by modifying the default TCP (and RLP) settings especially in the case of some "finite burst" modes of data transmission.
