1.2 TCP/IP PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS

Due to its design, TCP/IP does not perform well over impaired links. The link impairment could be due to delay or noise or both. A typical satellite link suffers due to high delay and high noise. The main reasons for poor TCP/IP performance over an impaired link can be summarized as:

Slow start algorithm Slow start algorithm allows a TCP sender to increase the data

transmission rate without overwhelming the network. It achieves this goal by gradually increasing the number of unacknowledged segments at the start of the session. The time required for an acknowledgement over the satellite link severely limits the ramp up in transmission rate.

TCP window size The most unacknowledged data that a TCP sender can have

outstanding is limited by the sender’s window size. This limits the transmission rate in the steady state to Window_Size/Round_Trip_Time (e.g., for a typical receive windows size of 64 kbytes and satellite round trip time of 540 ms, the maximum throughput is limited to approximately 121 kbps).

Congestion avoidance algorithms

The congestion avoidance and control mechanism of TCP attributes packet loss to network congestion, as opposed to corruption due to noise in the channel. This leads to drastic reduction in transmission rates. Recovery from congestion is slowed due to the high round trip time and noise in the satellite channel.

1.3 TCP/IP PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT PROXY

Comtech EF Data’s turboIP™ Performance Enhancement Proxy is designed to alleviate TCP/IP bottlenecks in an impaired environment (high delay, high bit error rate, or both), while preserving interoperability with any TCP device. It achieves this by combining TCP with a number of enhancements that modernize IP transport.

turboIP™ is based on SCPS-TP, the Transport Protocol of SCPS, an open standard specifically defined for space communications. This standard is open, published, and internationally distributed. SCPS-TP is an ISO standard (15893), a CCSDS standard (714.0-B-1), and a MILSTD (MIL-STD-2045-44000).

turboIP™ is fully compatible with network devices that use TCP, supporting existing Internet standards, including network congestion and retransmission schemes. This allows turboIP™ at one end of the link to operate with TCP devices at the other end of the link without the need for a peer turboIP™ device, providing partial performance enhancement. However, it is recommended that TCP traffic pass through a pair of turboIP take full advantage of the SCPS-TP protocol.

turboIPv4.0 Revision 6 Overview MN/TURBOIP.IOM

The key features of turboIP™ that help alleviate TCP/IP performance bottlenecks are:

Quick Start turboIP™ makes full and immediate use of the links available, eliminating

the inefficiencies of the TCP slow-start algorithm.

Window Scaling turboIP™ supports window sizes up to 1 Gbyte, far exceeding the standard

TCP window size of 64 Kbytes.

Intelligent Congestion Control

Rate Pacing

Per-Connection 1turboIP™ Version 4.0 adds Per-Connection Mode to support dynamic

Selective Negative Acknowledgments (SNACKs)

Note: With turboIP™ Version 4.0, either Rate Pacing or Pre-Connection Mode can be

selected to optimize TCP acceleration performance.

turboIP™ is optimized for real-world, mixed-loss environments. It is capable of distinguishing data corruption from congestion-induced data loss. Doing so prevents unnecessary activation of congestion control mechanisms, which can lead to significant reductions in transmission rates.

turboIP™ meters out bursty traffic at a rate not to exceed the configured transmission rate of the satellite channel. This prevents the satellite channel from becoming congested.

bandwidth paths, where the bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being accelerated by the turboIP.

SNACKs identify specific lost or damaged packets and request retransmission of those packets. This provides for quicker recovery and better bandwidth utilization in lossy environments.

Rate Pacing Mode Should be used when the bandwidth path for accelerated TCP

traffic remains constant with the set WAN Transmission Rate.

Per-Connection Mode Should be used to support dynamic bandwidth paths, where the

bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being accelerated by the turboIP.

1.4 SELECTIVE ACCELERATION

Selective Acceleration implemented by the Comtech turboIP is a mechanism for providing different quality of service (QoS) for different datagrams. Selective Acceleration only applies to IPv4 datagrams that are received on the LAN interface and forwarded to the WAN interface.

Selective Acceleration is implemented as an ordered table of rules that determine the QoS to be provided for traffic passing through the turboIP. The rules have three parts: an accounting part that specifies the location and status of the rule in the table, a filter part that matches the datagram’s passing through the turboIP to each rule, and a QoS part that determines how the data that matches the rule is to be treated. Each rule can specify that either all packets matching the rule be dropped or the following QoS parameters be applied:

• A priority level

• A maximum data rate (bandwidth) for all traffic matching the rule

• Whether or not to accelerate TCP sessions matching the rule (i.e., invoke

SCPS-TP)

1-4

turboIPv4.0 Revision 6 Overview MN/TURBOIP.IOM

1.5 DA TA AND HEADER COMPRESSION

The turboIP supports header and payload compression of accelerated TCP traffic. Compression is enabled or disabled by a global setting. If it is enabled, both header and data compression will be attempted on all new accelerated sessions. Compression will be negotiated during the TCP connection establishment. Therefore, even if the turboIP has compression enabled, and if the peer turboIP does not also have compression enabled, then the session will not be compressed.

Data compression on accelerated TCP flows will be handled on a segment-by-segment basis. The compressibility of each segment payload will be evaluated individually and only those segments where the impacts would be beneficial will be compressed.

If a session is to be compressed, then the segments corresponding to that session will be compressed only if:

1. the uncompressed payload length is greater than 90 octets;

and,

2. the compressed length is not larger than two octets smaller than the uncompressed length.

1.5.1 MINIMUM COMPRESSION RATIO

The compression ratio is defined as the ratio of the sum of the sizes of all TCP segments in an uncompressed session to the sum of the sizes of the TCP segments if that same session were compressed. Note that this is different from the definition used in the compression ratio statistic. A minimum compression ratio of 1.91:1 shall be achieved with the Canterbury corpus and 1.63:1 with the Calgary corpus, when the data is transferred through the turboIP using FTP.

The turboIP shall never produce a compression ratio less than 1 with any data, that is, the size of the compressed flows shall always be less than or equal to the size that the flow would have been if compression were disabled for that flow.

Chapter 2. Fail to Wire

2.1 DESCRIPTION

The Fail to Wire (FTW) function provides a low-cost solution for high network availability. If the unit fails, then the installed FTW board allows traffic to bypass the turboIP™ as if it were simply a wire. This means that a unit failure will not bring down the whole network. Traffic will continue to pass and, at most, the existing TCP sessions will be terminated and have to be restarted. The FTW functionality provides network reliability without the added cost of one-for-one redundancy.

2.2 FAIL TO WIRE BOARD OPERATION

If the turboIP fails (excluding loss of power), then the FTW board switches into “wire” mode approximately 7 to 10 seconds after the failure. At this time, all traffic is bypassed around the turboIP. All active TCP sessions will timeout and need to be restarted. Newly started TCP sessions will be bypassed around the turboIP without acceleration.

If turboIP reboots, then the FTW board switches to wire mode seven to 10 seconds after the reboot is initiated, and stays in “wire” mode until the reboot is completed. Hence, 7 to 10 seconds is the extent of network outage caused by a reboot of the turboIP.

If the turboIP loses power, then the FTW board immediately switches into “wire” mode. Approximately one second of traffic is lost during this switch. In addition, all TCP sessions will timeout and have to be restarted.

While the turboIP is off, the FTW board is in “wire” mode and all traffic is bypassed around the turboIP. When the turboIP is powered on again, the FTW board switches from “wire” mode to “normal” mode during which time no traffic passes through the turboIP for 7 to 10 seconds. After this period, the board will switch back into “wire” mode and bypass traffic around the turboIP for 33 seconds while turboIP is booting. When the turboIP finishes bootup, the FTW board switches from “wire” mode to “normal” mode and the turboIP begins normal operations. About one second of traffic loss is possible during this final switch.

2.3 FAIL TO WIRE BOARD INSTALLED

If the Fail to Wire (FTW) board is installed in the turboIP, then the last four characters of the Unit ID on the Upgrade page will read “FWFD”.

The presence of a FTW board can be verified by looking at the Unit ID on both the HTTP interface and the CLI interface as shown below.

2.4 NO FAIL TO WIRE BOARD INSTALLED

If no FTW board is installed as part of the turboIP, then the last four characters of the Unit ID on the Upgrade page will read “00FF”. Without a FTW board installed in the turboIP this feature is unavailable. The unit will detect the absence of FTW capability and not be able to switch into “wire” mode during possible failures or reboots.

The absence of a FTW board can be verified by looking at the Unit ID on the HTTP interface and the CLI interface as shown below.

Chapter 3. easyConnect™

easyConnect™ is Comtech EF Data’s intelligent networking technology intended to allow easy integration of turboIP™ into existing networks. It also simplifies design and installation of a new network. It reduces network reconfiguration that is required when introducing turboIP into an existing link. easyConnect™ can be turned ON after turboIP V3.0 or later.

3.1 easyConnect™ ON

With easyConnect™ enabled, turboIP™ can be added to existing links without impacting existing non-TCP traffic and without having to reconfigure existing network devices. It also reduces the complexity when designing and installing a new network.

easyConnect™ mode:

 All IP and Non-IP traffic is transparently bridged.

 IP multicast is transparently bridged

 Unicast IP datagrams that do not contain TCP payload are transparently bridged,

and can be assigned a Priority or bandwidth restriction with Selective Acceleration Rules.

 Unicast IP datagrams that contain TCP payload can be assigned a Priority or

bandwidth restriction with Selective Acceleration Rules. Also, Selective Acceleration can be used to designate which TCP traffic is accelerated and which is not accelerated.

With easyConnect™ mode, the unit has only one IP address (Management IP Address) that both the LAN and WAN port will respond to.

4.4 CONFIGURATION WIZARD

turboIPV4.0 has implemented Configuration Wizard to be a user-friendly Command-Line Interface(CLI) through serial console. Initial setup of the turboIP must be done using the serial console. A series of step-by-step instructions will guide you through the initial configuration. End user is required to run the Configuration Wizard with the following conditions:

 Brand new turboIP units shipped with Factory Defaults.

 After Restoring Factory Defaults in the CLI Administration page.

Changes with turboIP V4.0 Configuration Wizard

IMPORTANT

1. Initial configuration via the Configuration Wizard is no longer

required before the turboIP can be used. Acceleration will be enabled at all times. If the user wants to change any of the default settings or access any user interfaces, the Configuration Wizard must be run.

2. The box will be pre-configured to 15 Mbps for the WAN

Transmission Rate. Congestion Control will be set to “Per-Connection.”

3. No user interfaces will be accessible until the Configuration Wizard

is run.

4. The Wizard will ask the user if they will be configuring the box via

the network. If the user selects that they will not be configuring the box for the network, the Wizard will not ask any network specific questions such as IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Web configuration and SNMP configuration. If the user selects to configure the box via the network, the network specific questions will still appear in the wizard.

5. All network configuration will still be available via the user

interfaces after the wizard is run.

6. The Maximum Round Trip Time (RTT) setting is no longer

available.

4.4.2.3 CONFIGURATION WIZARD TURBOIP V4.0 – NETWORK SETTINGS REMOTE ACCESS

FOR

Network Settings – To allow access to the turboIP via the network (using the Web or SNMP IP interface) select ‘Yes’.

Management IP Address/Subnet Mask – Enter the IP you wish to assign to the turboIP (both the LAN and WAN port will respond to this IP).

Default Gateway - Enter the IP of the Gateway (must be on same subnet as Management IP).

4–9

turboIPv4.0 Revision 6 Configuring turboIP MN/TURBOIP.IOM

4.4.2.4 CONFIGURATION WIZARD TURBOIP V4.0 – WAN TRANSMISSION

RATE

WAN Transmission Rate – Set the maximum bandwidth available for TCP traffic on the WAN interface (a number, followed by a space and 'bps', 'kbps' or 'Mbps'). Must be ≥ 10 kbps and ≤ 15 Mbps. Setting WAN transmission rate in excess of available bandwidth could lead to a packet loss and degraded performance. If you have a mix of TCP and non-TCP traffic, use this setting to limit the bandwidth for TCP traffic.

Example 1 – If a pair of turboIPs’ were used to accelerate TCP traffic on a satellite link where satellite modem A has a TX data rate of 12 Mbps and satellite modem B has a TX data rate of 2048 kbps, the WAN setting for turboIP A would be 12 Mbps and would be 2048 kbps for turboIP B.

Example 2 – If a turboIP was in place at a hub where there were three outbound satellite links to three separate remotes with the following links;

Link A – Hub 4 Mbps Outbound, Remote A 1536 kbps Inbound

Link B – Hub 3 Mbps Outbound, Remote B 1024 kbps Inbound

Link A – Hub 2 Mbps Outbound, Remote C 768 kbps Inbound

The Hub turboIP WAN would be set to 9 Mbps to equal the total available Outbound bandwidth (4 + 3 + 2). In this example, Selective Acceleration Rules would need to be created to limit the bandwidth to match the Outbound TX data rate for each Remote. The Remote TurboIP WAN setting would be set to the Inbound TX data rate to the Hub.

Link A – Hub 2 Mbps Outbound, Remote C 768 kbps Inbound

4.5.3.2 MAXIMUM TRANSFER UNIT (MTU)

This setting enables the turboIP to better support interoperability with other IP devices requiring less than 1500-byte TCP payloads. Default setting for the MTU is 1500 bytes.

4.5.3.3 COMPRESSION

With Compression enabled, the turboIP will compress accelerated TCP Data, Compression is not applied to non-TCP or non accelerated TCP.

4.5.3.4 CONGESTION CONTROL

Per-Connection Mode – Should be used to support dynamic bandwidth paths, where the bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being accelerated by the turboIP.

Rate Pacing Mode– Should be when bandwidth path for accelerated TCP traffic remains constant with the set WAN Transmission Rate. In Rate Pacing Mode, the turboIP meters out bursty traffic at a rate not to exceed the configured transmission rate of the satellite channel. This prevents the satellite channel from becoming congested and will maximize accelerated TCP throughput to match the set WAN Transmission Rate.

4.6 UPGRADE TURBOIP™

All turboIP upgrades must be done in sequential order, that is, in order to upgrade to the most recent turboIP SW, the turboIP must be operating with the previous turboIP SW release. The turboIP SW Versions are as follows:

Ver 2.5.5.3 1/8/04

Ver 2.6 1/22/04

Ver 2.6.1 6/1/04

Ver 2.6.2 9/8/04

Ver 2.6.3 11/30/04

Ver 3.0 4/13/05

Ver 3.1 9/14/05

Ver 4.0 5/12/06

All turboIP SW Upgrade Packages can be downloaded from the Comtech EF Data website

IMPORTANT

www.comtechefdata.com

Select Downloads/Flash Upgrades/flash firmware update files/turboIP

Each SW Upgrade Package contains –

Upgrade image

MIB files

Release Notes

Upgrade Instructions

All turboIP SW image files have a ‘.zip’ file extension, but they are not a Windows ZIP file – do not try to unzip the SW image file.

Always review the Upgrade Instructions for the particular SW you are upgrading to as some details in the upgrade procedure may change.

4.6.1 CLI - UPGRADE TURBOIP

The turboIP can be upgraded from a PC with an FTP Server, locally via the LAN port or remotely via the WAN port. Configure the FTP Server Home Directory to be where the turboIP SW Upgrade Image file is located. Verify connectivity to the turboIP by verifying a Ping response.

From Administrative Functions Menu, select Configurations/Actions and then select “U” to Upgrade turboIP.

Enter the appropriate FTP User/Password log in information, the IP address of the FTP Server and the name of the turboIP SW Upgrade Image file. A prompt will display to reenter the FTP password and then the turboIP will connect to the FTP server and download the Upgrade Image. When the download is complete, a prompt will appear to confirm the upgrade is complete and the unit will need to be rebooted. The turboIP will then reboot to the new SW and retain all configurations settings.

If the upgrade process fails, the failure may be due to any of these causes:

 Incorrect username / password

 Incorrect FTP server IP address

 File does not exist

 Specified file is not a valid upgrade file

5.1 MIBII SUPPORT

turboIP™ supports RFC 1213 (MIBII) for managing the turboIP™. All public OIDs in the system, interface, IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, and SNMP groups are supported with the exception of the ipRouteTable OIDs which are Read-Only. Routes should be entered via the console’s routing screen or Web’s Routes page instead of through the MIBII’s ipRouteTable OIDs.

5.2 PRIVATE MIB SUPPORT

The following sections describe the SNMP private (product specific) MIB as provided for the Comtech EF Data turboIP™ unit. Shown below is the OID tree of the turboIP™ private MIB, followed by the data type of each OID.

Chapter 7. Sample Configurations

7.1 Sample Configurations Introduction

This chapter will describe typical topologies that the turboIP™ can be used in. Each sample configuration will show how the turboIP™ would be configured for optimal performance. The following list will apply to the turboIP™ in all cases –

• The turboIP™ must be placed in the network so that all TCP traffic that is to be accelerated will be directed through the turboIP™. The local network would be connected to turboIP™ LAN port and the WAN port would be connected to the satellite modem (or to a router which connects directly to the satellite modem).

• With easyConnect™ mode, the turboIP™ is never a “Next Hop” or a Default Gateway for any locally attached devices. Instead, the turboIP™ will work as a transparent bridge, so a turboIP™ can be placed in any network without having to reconfigure any network devices.

• The turboIP™ Fail-to-Wire feature insures that all traffic continues to flow, even if there is a turboIP™ failure, such as a power supply failure.

• The turboIP™ is fully compatible with network devices that use TCP, supporting existing Internet standards, including network congestion and retransmission schemes. This allows turboIP™ at one end of the link to operate with TCP devices at the other end of the link without the need for a peer turboIP™ device, providing partial performance enhancement. However, it is recommended that TCP traffic pass through a pair of turboIP Performance Enhancement Proxies, in order to take full advantage of the SCPSTP protocol.

The following sections show and describe the addition of turboIP™ to an existing network.

This configuration is a typical example where turboIPs’ are used to maximize the TCP throughput in a Point-to-Point system. Note the turboIPs’ are placed so that all TCP traffic between the Remote and the hub must pass through the turboIP. The following table defines the configuration settings for each turboIP.
