Subproject AFM3.2: Transmission control protocols for the Internet
Subproject leader
Prof.dr.ir. J.C.M. Baeten (TU/e)

Research description
The main goal of the project is to deepen the understanding of the performance of the present Internet control protocols, and obtain insight into the improvements required to support new applications. One major contribution of the project will be a formal correctness verification of variants and enhancements of TCP. The other important contribution is a detailed performance analysis of TCP in dynamic network environments, and of extensions for supporting new Internet applications such as real-time multicast traffic.

Key issues in the evaluation of communication network protocols are:

  • the formal verification of their correctness
  • the analysis of their performance
  • iterative modeling and analysis for protocol (re)design
