Abstract
File transfer is based on the reliable TCP protocol. However, when the network is of poor quality, TCP-based transmission will still perform less effectively due to some reasons. Existing approaches mainly optimize file transmission by modifying network strategies or optimize transmission mechanism. But when network conditions cannot be selected or modified, a suitable parameter adjustment method would be needed. The experiments in this paper firstly perform TCP-based file transmission tests on a poor network condition and find two problems. Then, multiple tests were performed on multiple platforms to detect the conditions under which these problems occurred. Next, to address the issue and improve the transmission performance, we propose an intelligent optimization scheme. By adjusting the transmission parameters and adding policies, the scheme equips the intermediate parameters with intelligent self-adaptation capabilities. We also test and evaluate the performance of the intelligent scheme. The result shows that the file transfer under the new scheme not only basically avoids the target problems, but also reduces the practical upload time under poor network condition from the perspective of decreasing the number of retransmissions and reducing the failure rate.
