Summary: | Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) has
become popular in the last few years, this is because CVE is
designed to allow geographically distributed users to work
together over the network. In CVE the state of the virtual
objects is witnessing unprecedentant change. When a user
performs an action in CVE, the information of the action needs
to be transmitted to other users to maintain consistency in the
cooperative work. TCP is the most widely used protocol in the
design of CVE, and its throughput deteriorates in the network
with large delay. Gital et al, 2014 proposes a cloud based
architectural model for improving scalability and consistency
in CVE. Therefore, this paper aim at evaluating and
comparing the performance of different TCP variant (Tahoe,
Reno, New Reno, Vegas, SACK, Fack and Linux) with the
cloud based CVE architecture to determine the suitability of
each TCP variant for CVE. A comparative analysis between
the different TCP variants is presented in terms of throughput
verses elapse time, with increasing number of users in the
system. TCP with the cloud based model was found to be
effective, promising and robust for achieving consistency
requirement in CVE systems |
