Size-based Adaptive Bandwidth Allocation: Optimizing the Average QoS for Elastic Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
With a view on improving user perceived performance on networks supporting elastic flows, e.g., multimedia/data file transfers, we identify the key properties that an online dynamic bandwidth allocation policy should have. We then propose a family of bandwidth allocation criteria which depends on the residual work of on-going transfers. Analysis and simulations show that allocating bandwidth in this fashion can improve the user perceived average bit transmission delay (BTD), i.e., delay/flow size, by up to 70% at 80% traffic load over traditional approaches. A simple implementation based upon TCP Reno, exemplifies how one might approach practically realizing such gains. Further studies on simple network topologies show that as the penetration of the proposed transport mechanism increases, users will have the proper incentives to upgrade from TCP Reno, and that the overall performance is better for all users once the penetration exceeds 20%.

متن کاملFlow-level QoS for a dynamic load of rate adaptive sessions sharing a bottleneck link
We consider the flow-level quality of service (QoS) seen by a dynamic load of rate adaptive sessions sharing a bottleneck link based on fair share bandwidth allocation. This is of interest both in considering wired networks supporting rate adaptive multimedia sessions and wireless networks supporting voice with rate adaptation to realize graceful degradation during congested periods. Two QoS me...
متن کاملEND-TO-END QoS MANAGEMENT FOR ADAPTIVE VIDEO FLOWS
Distributed audio and video applications need to adapt to fluctuations in delivered quality of service (QoS). By trading off temporal and spatial quality to available bandwidth, or manipulating the playout time of continuous media in response to variation in delay, audio and video flows can be made to adapt to fluctuating QoS with minimal perceptual distortion. In this paper we introduce dynami...

متن کاملMeeting QoS Challenges for Scalable Video Flows in Multimedia Networking
Many distributed audio and video applications exhibit robustness in adapting to fluctuations in the delivered quality of service (QoS). By trading off temporal and spatial quality to available bandwidth, or manipulating the playout time of continuous media in response to variation in delay, audio and video flows can be kept meaningful at the playout device with minimal perceptual distortion. In...
