Numerical studies of transport protocol throughput with forward error correction mechanism in intersegment space
A mathematical model of the data transfer process with forward error correction at the level of the transport protocol with crucial feedback in the phase of information transfer in the form of a Markov chain with discrete time is proposed. The article analyzes the possibility of increasing the throughput of a reliable transport connection in the presence of interference in the communication channels of the data transmission path through the use of non-laborious methods of noise-resistant coding in a space of grouped protocol data units. Data transmission by the sender is implemented with blocks containing B segments of the transport protocol, where 1 < A < B are informational, and B - A are redundant. In this case, distortion of B - A arbitrary segments in the block allows the recipient to restore all segments of the block. The Markov chain describes the dynamics of the queue of transmitted, but not confirmed blocks of segments. To identify areas of superiority of the transport protocol with the error correction mechanism over the classical transport protocol, the gain function in the multidimensional feature space of protocol parameters, transport connection characteristics and error correction method parameters is constructed by the performance criterion. To reduce the complexity of the numerical analysis of the increase in throughput of the data transmission path controlled by the transport protocol using the forward error correction mechanism, methods are proposed for reducing the dimension of the parametric space that determines the speed of the transport connection. Effective options for reducing the dimension of the feature space are cases of absolutely reliable delivery of receipts to the sender of the data stream, unlimited protocol parameters for the window width and timeout duration, as well as the case of a uniform data transmission path in the forward and reverse directions. Under these conditions, it is shown that the gain in throughput increases with increasing the round trip delay of the protocol data units.
