Abstract

With the increasing deployment of various medium, the transmission performance has become a key issue of the Internet research. An important impact on the performance is the packet reordering, which is well-known in packet transmission. First, this paper provides a brief review of the existing packet reordering metrics. We also explore the flexibility of existing passive metrics. As a new rising transmission medium, the satellite-based Internet covers widespread areas nowadays, and its transmission performance is susceptible to the packet reordering. We carried out the experiments in practice network environment, and compare the results of the terrestrial-based and satellite-based Internet. Experimental results show the reordering ratio on satellite-based Internet is less than that of terrestrial-based Internet. Finally, we present a novel perspective to explain the reordering phenomenon in TCP/IP flows.
