Abstract:

More and more attention is paid to the satellite networks which serve as data transmission and provide Internet access.The characteristics of satellite network such as long propagation delay,high bit error rate and asymmetric channel,make the traditional TCP congestion control algorithms inappropriate in this environment.So,many improved and new-designed algorithms are proposed.These algorithms are surveyed thoroughly in this paper.The principle,traits and deficiency of the algorithms are analyzed and finally some research issues are provided.

Key words: satellite network, congestion control, TCP, explicit control
