Transport Protocols for Remote Programming of Network Robots within the context of Telelaboratories for Education: A Comparative

– Within the context of Tele-Laboratories for Education the use of the Internet as communication media permits any researcher/student to perform remote experiments in a simple and reliable manner. Moreover, this situation introduces many interesting issues like network protocols for Internet robots, the effects of variable bandwidth and timedelays on telerobotics, etc. In this paper we present a comparative analysis of using several Internet transport protocols when performing a remote experiment within the UJI Industrial Telelaboratory. TCP, UDP, Trinomial and TEAR protocols are analyzed using the NS2 simulator. Conclusions show a set of characteristics the authors of this paper consider very important when designing an End-to-End Congestion Control transport protocol for Internet Telerobotics. These ideas are the basis for the definition of the SNRTP (Simple Network Robot Transport Protocol).
