Introduction CD/TURBOIP45.IOM

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-45 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-45 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 MIL-STD (MIL-STD-2045-44000).

turboIP-45 is fully compatible with network devices that use TCP, supporting existing Internet
standards, including network congestion and retransmission schemes. This allows turboIP-45 at one end
of the link to operate with TCP devices at the other end of the link without the need for a peer turboIP­45 device, providing partial performance enhancement. However, it is recommended that TCP traffic
pass through a pair of turboIP

the SCPS-TP protocol.

where the bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being

accelerated by the turboIP-45.

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.

turboIP-45 allows Slipware to dynamically detect the allowed MTU for the path

between the Skip ware gateway and the peer gateway or end systems for
accelerated traffic, thus eliminating fragmentation of TCP segments that are too large
for the path MTU.

turboIP-45 allows the Per connection congestion control to tolerate some amount of

loss due to corrupted packets (bit errors) without reducing the throughput. Previous
releases treated any loss as an indication of congestion and reduced the throughput
by half

turboIP-45 prevents spurious retransmissions due to packet reordering in the path

between two skip ware gateways

turboIP-45 prevents spurious retransmissions timeouts (RTO) caused by an increase

in RTT due to queuing, improving throughput when using the Per-Connection
congestion control on long delay networks that support large queues.

Introduction CD/TURBOIP45.IOM

1.4 Selective Acceleration

Selective Acceleration implemented by the Comtech turboIP-45 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-45. 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-45 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)

1.5 Data and Header Compression

The turboIP-45 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-45 has compression enabled, and if the peer turboIP-45

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

turboIP-45 Performance Enhancement Proxy Revision 0

Introduction CD/TURBOIP45.IOM

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-45 using FTP.

The turboIP-45 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.

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-45™ 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.

Chapter 2. Fail to Wire

2.2 Fail to Wire Board Operation

If the turboIP-45 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-

45. All active TCP sessions will timeout and need to be restarted. Newly started TCP sessions will be

bypassed around the turboIP-45 without acceleration.

If turboIP-45 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-45.

If the turboIP-45 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-45 is off, the FTW board is in “wire” mode and all traffic is bypassed around the
turboIP-45. When the turboIP-45 is powered on again, the FTW board switches from “wire” mode to
“normal” mode during which time no traffic passes through the turboIP-45 for 7 to 10 seconds. After
this period, the board will switch back into “wire” mode and bypass traffic around the turboIP-45 for 33
seconds while turboIP-45 is booting. When the turboIP-45 finishes bootup, the FTW board switches
from “wire” mode to “normal” mode and the turboIP-45 begins normal operations. About one second of

traffic loss is possible during this final switch.

Chapter 3. easyConnect™

easyConnect™ is Comtech EF Data’s intelligent networking technology intended to allow easy

integration of turboIP-45

existing link.

™

into existing networks. It also simplifies design and installation of a new

3.1 easyConnect™ ON

With easyConnect enabled, turboIP-45 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.

3.2 Important easyConnect™ Notes

With easyConnect mode, the turboIP-45 cannot be the default gateway or the next hop for any locally
attached devices. Instead, the turboIP-45 will work as a transparent bridge.

Chapter 4. Configuring turboIP-45™

4.1 Important Configuration Notes

turboIP-45™ must be placed in the link such that it has visibility of TCP traffic in both directions, i.e., the

forward traffic as well as the TCP acknowledgments must go through the unit. If the unit is placed such that it

IMPORTANT

only has visibility of forward traffic or TCP acknowledgments, all such TCP sessions through turboIP-45 will

not be accelerated.

During configuration of turboIP-45, a reboot is required for the three following changes; all other changes are

immediately in effect:

• Initial Configuration Wizard

• Restore to Factory Defaults

• Upgrading of the Unit

4.2 Required Equipment List

In addition to the Ethernet cables and Ethernet switches/hubs required to connect turboIP-45™ to the

network, the following equipment is required for the console connection:

1. DB-9 (female) to DB-9 (male) straight-through modem cable

2. PC running terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal)

4.3 User Interfaces

turboIP-45 supports a basic menu-driven interface, which is accessible using the console port, or a web-

based graphical user interface (GUI). The interfaces contain the same functionality, with one exception.
The USERID and PASSWORD are only configurable via the console connection, for obvious security
reasons.

4.4.2.4 Configuration Wizard turboIP-45 – 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 ≤ 45 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 turboIP-45s 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-45 A would be 12 Mbps and would be 2048 kbps for turboIP-45 B.
Example 2 – If a turboIP-45 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-45 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-45 WAN setting would be set

to the Inbound TX data rate to the Hub.

4.5.5.1 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 ≤ 45 Mbps. Setting the WAN
transmission rate in excess of available bandwidth could lead to packet loss and degraded
performance.

For a mix of TCP / non-TCP traffic, use these settings to limit the bandwidth for TCP traffic:

Example 1 – A pair of turboIP-45s is 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. Use WAN setting 12 Mbps for turboIP-45 A, and 2048 kbps for turboIP-45 B.
Example 2 – A turboIP-45 is in place at a hub where there are 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-45 WAN is set to 9 Mbps to equal the total available Outbound bandwidth

(4 + 3 + 2). In this example, create Selective Acceleration Rules to limit the bandwidth to match

the Outbound TX data rate for each Remote. Set the Remote turboIP-45 WAN setting to the

Inbound TX data rate to the Hub.

4.5.5.2 Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU)

This setting enables the turboIP-45 to better support interoperability with other IP devices

requiring less than 1500-byte TCP payloads. Default setting for the MTU is 1500 bytes.

4.5.5.3 Compression

With Compression enabled, the turboIP-45 will compress accelerated TCP Data, Compression is

not applied to non-TCP or non accelerated TCP.

4.5.5.4 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-45.

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-45 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.

Multiple Users – Up to five user accounts are supported via the Web, SSH and Serial interfaces.

Account authentication uses passwords, which must follow the complexity requirements described next.

Password Complexity - Password length is 8 characters minimum, and 31 characters maximum.

Passwords are case-sensitive and must contain at least one character from each of the following
categories: Uppercase, Lowercase, Digit, and Special character. Special characters include “_!­.;:<>,[]{}\|()*&^%$#@`~'+=?/”

4.6

IMPORTANT

When changing passwords, at least four characters in the new password must be different from the old
password. The system does not keep a record of old passwords, once a password is changed.

If the Administrator login or password is lost, the turboIP-45 can be restored to Factory Defaults using the

following account only accessible via the serial interface:
username: safe
password: C0mtech!

Once the factory defaults are restored, the turboIP-45 can be rebooted and the user will be able to accept the

EULA and begin the Configuration Wizard.

User Accounts - There are two levels of user accounts: Administrator and Normal User. There must

always be at least one Administrator account.

The first Administrator account must be created through the Configuration Wizard. If only one
Administrator account exists, the user will not be able to delete the account. An error message will be
displayed if there is an attempt to delete the Administrator.

Usernames - must be at least five and no more than thirty-one alphanumeric characters in length.
Administrator Functions - The Administrator changes passwords, adds and deletes users only through

the SSH and Serial interfaces. Normal users cannot see or edit these settings.

The Administrator specifies whether an account is an Administrator or Normal User.

The option to change usernames is not available through the Serial interface. To accomplish this, the
Administrator deletes the user account and then recreates it with a new username. If the Administrator
tries to add more than the maximum number of user accounts, an error message is displayed.

4.6 Upgrade turboIP-45™

All turboIP-45 upgrades must be done in sequential order, that is, in order to upgrade to the most recent
turboIP-45 SW, the turboIP-45 must be operating with the previous turboIP-45 software release. Please

see the turboIP-45 software release notes for specific upgrading details.

All turboIP-45 SW Upgrade Packages can be downloaded from the Comtech EF Data website:

http://www.comtechefdata.com/

Select Downloads/Flash Upgrades/flash firmware update files/turboIP-45.

Each SW Upgrade Package contains:

• Upgrade image

• MIB files

• Release Notes

• Upgrade Instructions

All turboIP-45 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.

IMPORTANT

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-45™

The turboIP-45 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-45 SW Upgrade
Image file is located. Verify connectivity to the turboIP-45 by verifying a Ping response.

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

turboIP-45.

Enter the appropriate FTP User/Password log in information, the IP address of the FTP Server and the

name of the turboIP-45 SW Upgrade Image file. A prompt will display to re-enter the FTP password
and then the turboIP-45 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-45 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

Contact CEFD Network Product Support [e-mail] if there are any

difficulties or questions about upgrading your turboIP-45.

5.1 MIBII Support

turboIP-45™ supports RFC 1213 (MIBII) for managing the turboIP-45. 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.

Chapter 7. Sample Configurations

7.1 Sample Configurations Introduction

This chapter will describe typical topologies that the turboIP-45™ can be used in. Each sample
configuration will show how the turboIP-45 would be configured for optimal performance. The
following list will apply to the turboIP-45 in all cases –

• The turboIP-45 must be placed in the network so that all TCP traffic that is to be accelerated
will be directed through the turboIP-45. The local network would be connected to turboIP-45

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-45 is never a “Next Hop” or a Default Gateway for any
locally attached devices. Instead, the turboIP-45™ will work as a transparent bridge, so a
turboIP-45 can be placed in any network without having to reconfigure any network devices.

• The turboIP-45 Fail-to-Wire feature insures that all traffic continues to flow, even if there is
a turboIP-45 failure, such as a power supply failure.

• The turboIP-45 is fully compatible with network devices that use TCP, supporting existing

Internet standards, including network congestion and retransmission schemes. This allows

turboIP-45 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-45 device, providing partial performance enhancement.
However, it is recommended that TCP traffic pass through a pair of turboIP-45 Performance

Enhancement Proxies, in order to take full advantage of the SCPS-TP protocol.

The following sections show and describe the addition of turboIP-45 to an existing network.

Sample Configurations CD/TURBOIP45.IOM

7.2 Point-to-Point Configuration

This configuration is a typical example where turboIP-45s are used to maximize the TCP throughput in
a Point-to-Point system. Note the turboIP-45s are placed so that all TCP traffic between the Remote and
the hub must pass through the turboIP-45. The following table defines the configuration settings for
each turboIP-45.

7.3 Point-to-MultiPoint Configuration

In the Point-to-Multipoint configuration, a single turboIP-45 is used at the Hub to accelerate TCP traffic

each turboIP-45.

No Selective Acceleration Rules are required. Rules could be added
to prioritize or set BW limits on types of traffic. Rules could also be
added to set a priority or BW limit on traffic to a particular site.

No Route Table entries are required. Routes could be added to allow
remote access from outside of LAN subnet.

7.4 Hub-Spoke Configuration

The Hub-Spoke differs from the Point-to-Multipoint configuration in that there are separate satellite

links between the Hub and each Remote site, but a single turboIP-45 is still used at the Hub. Also note
that there is no turboIP-45 at Remote Site 3, this is to illustrate that turboIP-45s can be deployed at
Remote Sites at a future date and still be compatible with the Hub. Sites without a turboIP-45 would
only get partial benefit for turboIP-45 TCP acceleration.

The following table defines the configuration settings for each turboIP-45.

Selective Acceleration Rules are
required to limit the bandwidth for
all of the traffic destined for a
particular Remote site. The BW
limit would be equal to the TX

linked to the particular site 25
Mbps for Site 1, 13 Mbps for Site
2, and 8 Mbps for Site 3.
