Chapter 5Upstream channel capacity and characterisation pheader) and 18-bytes (Ethernet MAC header/trailer). Therefore, not all of the streamcapacity is available to isochronous applications. For instance, in the worse casescenario when 64-byte packets are delivered, for a 12 kbps isochronous stream theeffective bandwidth (excluding higher layer protocol overhead = 20-bytes TCP + 20-bytes IP + 3-bytes LLC + 18-bytes Ethernet MAC = 61-bytes), is dramatically reducedto 0.56 kbps when the TCP/IP protocol with an Ethernet bridge solution is considered.Such overheads should be taken into account when considering the delivery ofapplications with specific bandwidth requirements. The effective throughput for thedifferent streams as a function of the packet size and protocol stack (see Figure B.1)used for these simulations is given in Table 5.3, (shaded lines in the table present theeffective bandwidth when the TCP/IP with an Ethernet bridge solution is considered,which is the most popular solution in CATV networks).It is evident from Table 5.3, that although lower packet sizes provide quickerinteraction, smaller packet sizes reduce the available bandwidth due to a proportionalincrease in overhead. In order to compensate for the considerable reduction inbandwidth, in the last version of the of the DVB/DAVIC protocol [35] (recentlyTable 5.3 - Effective bandwidth in isochronous streams (kbps).Isochronous Streams (kbps)Packet size (bytes)64 128 256 512 1024 151812 TCP/IP 3.94 7.97 9.98 10.99 11.50 11.66UDP/IP 6.19 9.09 10.55 11.27 11.64 11.75PPP 9.38 10.69 11.34 11.67 11.84 11.89TCP/MAC Eth 0.56 6.28 9.14 10.57 11.29 11.29UDP/MAC Eth 2.81 7.41 9.70 10.85 11.43 11.6132 TCP/IP 10.50 21.25 26.63 29.31 30.66 31.09UDP/IP 16.50 24.25 28.13 30.06 31.03 31.35PPP 25.00 28.50 30.25 31.13 31.56 31.70TCP/MAC Eth 1.50 16.75 24.38 28.19 30.09 30.71UDP/MAC Eth 7.50 19.75 25.88 28.94 30.47 7.5064 TCP/IP 21.00 42.50 53.25 58.63 61.31 62.19UDP/IP 33.00 48.50 56.25 60.13 62.06 62.69PPP 50.00 57.00 60.50 62.25 63.13 63.41TCP/MAC Eth 3.00 33.50 48.75 56.38 60.19 61.43UDP/MAC Eth 15.00 39.50 51.75 57.88 60.94 15.00128 TCP/IP 42.00 85.00 106.50 117.25 122.63 124.37UDP/IP 66.00 97.00 112.50 120.25 124.13 125.39PPP 100.00 114.00 121.00 124.50 126.25 126.82TCP/MAC Eth 6.00 67.00 97.50 112.75 120.38 122.86UDP/MAC Eth 30.00 79.00 103.50 115.75 121.88 30.005-7
