TCP performance over satellite links

Prior to my thesis I worked on issues related to the performance of TCP in the framework of satellite communications. We studied this issue for 6 months in the context of a partnership between the ENST and the LEP (Laboratoire d'Electronique de Philips S.A.S.). Follows a list of our publications in this domain :

• TCP over Satellite Channels: Problems and Solutions S. Oueslati Boulahia, A. Serhrouchni, S. Tohmé, S. Baier and A. Berrada. Telecommunication Systems Journal, vol. 13 (2000), p. 199-212
• GACK: A Mechanism for Enhancing TCP Performance over Satellite Channels S. Oueslati Boulahia, A. Serhrouchni, S. Tohmé, S. Baier and A. Berrada. In proc. IFIP TC6 & ICCC 5^th Conference on Computer Communications, Tunis, October 1998
