Abstract
The challenges posed by data communications over both satellite and terrestrial wireless systems make the adoption of adequate countermeasures advisable. In particular, the poor performance experienced by TCP transport protocol in such environments has fed the scientific community to propose novel solutions, from both the protocols and architecture points of view. In order to perform a thorough assessment of such proposals, University of Bologna (UoB) and National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT) have conceived and set-up an integrated testbed. Its characteristics and capabilities are presented and discussed in this work, focusing in particular on the advantages offered by the ubiquitous remote control of the testbed, provided by a powerful web interface specifically designed for this purposeI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
