Transport Assistants to Enhance TCP Connections: Investigating the Placement Problem

International Journal of Network Management, Volume 35, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
This study addresses the optimal placement of transport assistants (TAs) within the network to reduce transport control protocol (TCP) packet delivery delays by minimizing retransmission times after packet loss. Using a mathematical model and an Integer Linear Program, scenarios and heuristics are evaluated to optimize TA placement, reducing delays by ...
