Addressing Transport Layer Issues in Cloud Computing: A STEM Perspective
Abstract
Due to bandwidth limitations and overflowing in the Internet, connectionless transport-layer protocols are migrating to connection-oriented, mainly because of the flow control it offers. Because of this, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and network administrators have restricted user traffic to only Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) segments. Optimizing TCP-based protocols will benefit significantly the performance of any centric system, such as the STEM clouds. The challenging scenarios, when using TCP-based systems, are transmitting large files over long distances, as these have a large bandwidth-delay product (BDP) which hinders drastically the performance, even if the network's physical link is broadband (e.g. fiber optics). There are various transport protocols today that address these problems. This chapter aims at explaining the transport layer limitations, an overview of how we arrived at the protocols used today, and some techniques that could be adopted in the future, with a focus on cloud computing systems.
