TCP increase/decrease behavior with explicit congestion notification (ECN)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the effect of TCP Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) with a new response strategy that is more aggressive in the short term, but preserves TCP long term behavior, without modifying the router marking rate. A less aggressive ECN decrease gives more incentives for end systems to become ECN-compliant, as ECN serves as an early warning sign in this case. Our analysis and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the new algorithm in improving throughput and reducing fluctuations. We model a multiple bottleneck scenario with various types of traffic, and evaluate the effect of a number of parameters, including TCP flavor, increase/decrease parameters, buffer size, and random early detection (RED) parameters. Keywords— TCP congestion control, explicit congestion notification (ECN), random early detection (RED), active queue management, additive increase multiplicative decrease (AIMD)

On TCP reaction to Explicit Congestion Notification
We investigate the behavior of a new response strategy to TCP Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). The new strategy is more aggressive in the short term, but preserves TCP long term behavior– without modifying the router ECN marking rate. A more aggressive short term behavior gives incentives for hosts to become ECN-compliant. ECN serves as an early warning sign in this case. Our analysis de...
متن کاملA New Fair Window Algorithm for ECN-Capable TCP (New-ECN)
In this paper we propose a modification of the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) [1] to correct the bias against connections with long round trip times (RTT) of TCP. The New-ECN algorithm achieves a fair sharing of the available bandwidth of a bottleneck gateway. The idea is to prevent a fast connection from opening its congestion window too quickly and to enable a slow connection to open ...
متن کاملTCP Rate Control Using Active ECN Mechanism with RTT-Based Marking Probability
The end-to-end TCP congestion control based on a window flow control mechanism can cause unfairness among multiple TCP connections with different RTT (round trip time), dut to its non-uniform increase of the rate. In order to achieve the fairness among TCP connections, we propose a rate control scheme using ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) on TCP congestion control. At an ECN-implemented ...
متن کاملRobust Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) Signaling with Nonces
This note describes the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)-nonce, an optional addition to ECN that protects against accidental or malicious concealment of marked packets from the TCP sender. It improves the robustness of congestion control by preventing receivers from exploiting ECN to gain an unfair share of network bandwidth. The ECN-nonce uses the two ECN-Capable Transport (ECT)codepoint...
متن کاملOn the Resource Efficiency of Explicit Congestion Notification
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) for IP networks has received considerable attention in recent years, and has been shown to improve TCP goodput. Previous studies have centered on scenarios in which TCP with ECN (TCP/ECN) traffic competes with ECN-unaware traffic. This paper presents case studies in which moderately short flows are all ECN-capable, and compare them with the corresponding c...
