Figure 8.18: The \N Source + VBR" Con guration with satellite links and long feedback delays e ciency for three combinations of the mean and standard deviation. Table 8.14 is for TCP MSS = 512 bytes, while Table 8.15 is for TCP MSS = 9140 bytes. Observe that the queue lengths are quite large, while the total TCP throughput and e ciency are smaller (by 10-15%) compared to the values in Tables 8.12 and 8.13 (1000 km feedback delay cases) respectively. The total queue is still a small multiple of the feedback delay or RTT (a feedback delay of 550 ms corresponds to 201850 cells). This indicates that satellite switches need to provide at least so much bu ering to avoid loss on these high delay paths. A point to consider is that these large queues should not be seen in downstream workgroup or WAN switches, because they will not provide so much bu ering. Satellite switches can isolate downstream switches from such large queues by implementing the VSVD option as described in chapter 10. 329
