Understanding the performance of many TCP flows
As the most widely used reliable transport in today’s Internet, TCP has been extensively studied in the past decade. However, previous research usually only considers a small or medium number of concurrent TCP connections. The TCP behavior under many competing TCP flows has not been sufficiently explored. In this paper 1, we use extensive simulations to systematically investigate the performanc...
متن کاملTCP behavior with many flows
TCP's ability to share a bottleneck fairly and efficiently decreases as the number of competing flows increases. This effect starts to appear when there are more flows than packets in the delay-bandwidth product. In the limit of large numbers of flows, TCP forces a packet loss rate approaching 50%, causing delays that users are likely to notice. TCP’s minimum congestion window of one packet is ...
متن کاملUsing Back-Pressure to Improve TCP Performance with Many Flows
Congestion control of Internet Best Effort traffic relies mostly on TCP window flow control of individual sessions. This paper argues that such approach does not scale well to a very large number of simultaneously active flows, typical of backbones characterized by large delay-bandwidth products. In this scenario, the TCP window sizes tend to be small and dropping or marking packets alone is no...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Performance of TCP Pacing
Many researchers have observed that TCP’s congestion control mechanisms can lead to bursty traffic flows on modern high-speed networks, with a negative impact on overall network efficiency. A proposed solution to this problem is to evenly space, or “pace”, data sent into the network over an entire round-trip time, so that data is not sent in a burst. In this paper, we quantitatively evaluate th...
متن کاملPerformance of Competing High-Speed TCP Flows
The goal of recent high-speed TCP implementations is to allow scientists who have access to new high-speed networks to efficiently transfer large datasets to their remote colleagues. As of yet, there is no standard high-speed TCP. Because of this, scientists using one high-speed protocol may find themselves sharing a link with scientists using a different high-speed protocol. Previous work has ...
