Spurious TCP Timeouts in 802.11 Networks
Malone, David and Leith, Douglas J. and Aggarwal, Anshuman and Dangerfield, Ian (2008) Spurious TCP Timeouts in 802.11 Networks. In: Proceedings of the 6th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization Wiopt 2008, 1-3 April 2008 , Berlin, Germany. AbstractIn this paper, we investigate spurious TCP timeouts
in 802.11 wireless networks. Though timeouts can be a problem
for uploads from an 802.11 network, these timeouts are not
spurious but are caused by a bottleneck at the access point.
Once this bottleneck is removed, we find that spurious timeouts are rare, even in the face of large changes in numbers of active stations or PHY rate. | Additional Information: | Copyright Notice "©2008 IEEE.
