Abstract | Recent observations through experiments that we have performed incurrent third generation wireless networks have revealed that the achieved throughput over wireless links varies widely depending on the application. In particular, the throughput achieved by file transfer application (FTP) and web browsing application (HTTP) are quite different. The throughput achieved over a HTTP session is much lower than that achieved over an FTP session. The reason for the lower HTTP throughput is that the HTTP protocol is affected by the large Round-Trip Time (RTT) across Wireless links. HTTP transfers require multiple TCP connections and DNS lookups before a HTTP page can be displayed. Each TCP connection requires several RTTs to fully open the TCP send window and each DNS lookup requires several RTTs before resolving the domain name to IP mapping. These TCP/DNS RTTs significantly degrade the performance of HTTP over wireless links. To overcome these problems, we have developed session level optimization techniques to enhance HTTP download mechanisms. These techniques (a) minimize the number of DNS lookups over the wireless link and (b) minimize the number of TCP connections opened by the browser. These optimizations bridge the mismatch caused by wireless links between application-level protocols (such as HTTP) and transport-level protocols (such asTCP). Our solutions do not require any client-side software and can be deployed transparently on a service provider network toprovide 30-50% decrease in end-to-end user perceived latency and 50-100% increase in data throughput across wireless links for HTTP sessions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
