| Abstract | Real-time applications involve bulk transfer of data streams over a network. In some
time-critical applications like telemedicine, high bandwidth availability must be guaranteed.
An approach to provide such a guarantee without changing the Internet protocol has been
created. It is assume that a dedicated high-speed line is added to the Internet. The line is to be
exclusively used for real-time data linking two autonomous systems. It is not to be part of the
existing Internet though it is working in collaboration with the Internet. In this thesis, a
protocol separator, PS, has been designed and implemented to direct real-time data to the
dedicated line and the rest of the traffic to the normal Internet connection. An analysis of this
design has shown that, for a given number of PS's sliding-window slots, an improvement of
the throughput can be achieved whenever the available bandwidth ratio of the normal Internet
and the dedicated link is greater than or equal to the ratio of the acknowledgement packet and
the data packet size. The analysis was verified by an experiment on out prototypical protocol
separator and the throughput improvement is achieved. |
