RD-TCP: Reorder Detecting TCP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerous studies have shown that packet reordering is common, especially in networks with a high degree of parallelism. Reordering of packets decreases the TCP performance of a network, mainly because it leads to overestimation of the congestion of the network. We consider wired networks with transmission that follows predominantly, but not necessarily exclusively, symmetric routing paths, and we analyse the performance of such networks when reordering of packets occurs. We propose an effective solution that could significantly improve the performance of the network when reordering of packets occurs. We report results of our simulation experiments which support this claim. Our solution is based on enabling the senders to distinguished between dropped packets and reordered packets.

Reorder Detecting TCP (RD-TCP) with Explicit Packet Drop Notification (EPDN)
Numerous studies have shown that packet reordering is common, especially in networks where there is high degree of parallelism and different link speeds. Reordering of packets decreases the TCP performance of a network, mainly because it leads to overestimation of the congestion of the network. We consider wired networks and analyze the performance of such networks when reordering of packets oc...
متن کاملProtocol level solutions for the packet reordering problem
The Internet is experiencing an exponential growth in users and network traffic. As the Internet grows larger and larger, the performance of the network is subjected to severe performance degrading issues such as congestion in the network, link failures, corruption of packets and reordering of packets. In this thesis, we examine the problem of packet reordering in networks and how reordering of...
متن کاملImproving the Robustness of TCP to Non-Congestion Events
This document specifies Non-Congestion Robustness (NCR) for TCP. In the absence of explicit congestion notification from the network, TCP uses loss as an indication of congestion. One of the ways TCP detects loss is using the arrival of three duplicate acknowledgments. However, this heuristic is not always correct, notably in the case when network paths reorder segments (for whatever reason), r...
متن کاملEffects of time, temperature and precursor on solid state synthesis of α-TCP
The effects of solid state synthesis process parameters (time and temperature) and primary calcium precursor on the amount of produced α-tricalcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2 or α -TCP) have been investigated. α-TCP was synthesized by firing of stoichiometric amount of calcium carbonate and monetite in first group and calcium carbonate and brushite in the second group, once at 1350°C for 3,6,8,16 h d...
متن کاملRR-TCP: A Reordering-Robust TCP with DSACK
TCP performs poorly on paths that reorder packets significantly, where it misinterprets out-of-order delivery as packet loss. The sender responds with a fast retransmit though no actual loss has occurred. These repeated false fast retransmits keep the sender’s window small, and severely degrade the throughput it attains. Persistent reordering occasionally occurs on present-day networks. Moreove...
