The phenomenal growth of the Internet in recent years has motivated a number of cable operators to upgrade their wide installed base of cable networks to offer broadband data services to residential subscribers. This enables them to access a variety of local community content as well as the Internet. Current state-of-the-art cable modems implement sophisticated modulation-demodulation techniques that offer services with several fold increase in access speeds from homes compared to conventional dial-up access. But experiences show that the performance of the Web browsing may be severely hampered if the overall network configuration and its connectivity to the external world are not well studied e.g., connection to U.S. backbone. This paper investigates the performance of web browsing in such an environment by taking a case study of Singapore-ONE broadband network. We present a simple model for estimating the bandwidth of overseas link for large user base by considering HTTP as the prime application .We later analyze the performance of HTTP protocol over such a network and propose simple modifications including changes in access sub-net, for better performance. |
