Performance of stop-and-wait protocols over high-delay links
Abstract
The performance of stop-and-wait protocols over links with high propagation delay such as satellite links is discussed. Primary focus is placed on situations where a large block size is employed to compensate for the loss of throughput caused by the large propagation delay. Possible loss in data intergrity due to undetected errors is investigated. The results show that in most environments, acceptably high throughput can be obtained without sacrificing data integrity. © 1982.
