This paper describes a novel mechanism for achieving
sufficient TCP performance over some asymmetrical environment
without any modification in customer premises.
In today’s Internet, several types of access media have an
asymmetrical bandwidth characteristic, where the down-stream
link bandwidth is larger than the upstream. However,
such asymmetrical environment may cause TCP performance
degradation due to upstream link congestion. In
order to solve this problem, we propose a PEP (Performance
Enhancement Proxy) based approach to improve
TCP downloading throughput by reducing upstream traffic
using our compulsory IP fragmentation technique. The
results of our performance evaluation show that our experimental
proxy implementation is capable of accelerating
TCP throughput about three times faster comparing to the
case without the proxy.
