TL;DR: The letter contains the formulation of an analytical expression of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packet loss probability over geostationary satellite channels on the basis of the state-of-the-art in the field.
Abstract: The letter contains the formulation of an analytical expression of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packet loss probability over geostationary satellite channels on the basis of the state-of-the-art in the field. The expression obtained is function of the bandwidth available and is suited to be used in control mechanisms. It is compared with the results obtained through a satellite network emulator already validated in the literature.

TL;DR: This paper introduces a system control architecture with three types of flows entering the network, i.e., Constant Bit Rate, UDP and TCP, and a cost function including an analytical measure of the packet loss for TCP flow, and proposes an extension of the previous bandwidth allocation control algorithm.
Abstract: Resource allocation schemes dedicated to Satellite environment often consider Internet traffic as the superposition of traffic sources without distinguishing between TCP and UDP flows, even if TCP and UDP have different traffic characteristics. In this paper we introduce a system control architecture with three types of flows entering the network, i.e., Constant Bit Rate (CBR), UDP and TCP, and a cost function including an analytical measure of the packet loss for TCP flow. We propose an extension of our previous bandwidth allocation control algorithm Constrained Average Probability-Adaptive Bandwidth Allocation in Satellite Channel (CAP-ABASC) to Extended CAP-ABASC. We provide performance evaluation of the two allocation strategies.
