A Novel UDT-Based Transfer Speed-Up Protocol for Fog Computing

الملخص EN

Fog computing is a distributed computing model as the middle layer between the cloud data center and the IoT device/sensor.

It provides computing, network, and storage devices so that cloud based services can be closer to IOT devices and sensors.

Cloud computing requires a lot of bandwidth, and the bandwidth of the wireless network is limited.

In contrast, the amount of bandwidth required for “fog computing” is much less.

In this paper, we improved a new protocol Peer Assistant UDT-Based Data Transfer Protocol (PaUDT), applied to Iot-Cloud computing.

Furthermore, we compared the efficiency of the congestion control algorithm of UDT with the Adobe’s Secure Real-Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP), based on UDP completely at the transport layer.

At last, we built an evaluation model of UDT in RTT and bit error ratio which describes the performance.

The theoretical analysis and experiment result have shown that UDT has good performance in IoT-Cloud computing.
