SPDY over satellite: Performance optimization through an end-to-end technology (original) (raw)

2015 38th International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP), 2015

Abstract

ABSTRACT SPDY is a new application technology, introduced by Google, to accelerate Web transfers over common internet links. Most of the SPDY techniques (i.e. header compression, pushing and multiplexing) are usually included in satellite Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) to optimize performance. Therefore, SPDY over satellite is expected to improve performance but without the need of any specific modification over the network. Proof of such an improvement is revolutionary for the role of satellite in the future Internet, since it could be considered as a transparent link, which does not need ad-hoc protocol adaptations. This paper addresses Web performance over satellite using the new SPDY protocol. Performance assessment relies on a satellite emulator that reproduces in software a DVB-RCS link while running real implementations of both TCP/IP stacks and SPDY.
