Many applications in modern science need to transmit extremely massive amount of data over wide area networks. These data usually do not need stringent real-time requirements but require large bandwidth to finish transmission with unreasonable time. High-energy physics experiments and climate modeling and analysis are typical examples of such applications. As TCP is known to perform inefficiently over networks of large delay-bandwidth product, efficient transmission of this kind of massive, non-real-time data has been heavily studied in the past. The previous results work well in dedicated networks but will compete for fair share of bandwidth with normal TCP connections if they operate in the public networks. The objective of this thesis is to design a new transmission protocol for the above applications that can operate in the public networks without affecting normal TCP connections. The new protocol is called Rate Control Transmission Protocol (RCTP). The idea is to apply the packet-pair measurement technique to measure the bandwidth share in the network for the transmission. The sending rate is based on that measurement and is precisely compensated by the RTT variance measurement. Due to the RTT compensation, RCTP can efficiently utilize the unused bandwidth in the network while not affecting the normal TCP transmissions, making it perfect for transmitting massive, non-real-time data in the public networks.
