Abstract

This paper evaluates the performance of several alternative reliable unicast transport mechanisms in a hybrid network. Options investigated include end-to-end TCP (different flavors), end-to-end Space Communications Protocol Standards-Transport Protocol (SCPS-TP), and Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) (also called Transport Layer Proxies). Our approach is to analyze these options in a specific scenario using Modeling and Simulation (M&S). We describe this scenario and the corresponding OPNET Network Model, our experiment plan, and the results obtained. Finally, we identify several areas for further analyses.
