Router - Assisted Congestion Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enabling communication between routers and end-points has long been sought after as an approach to congestion control in the Internet. However, the narrow-waist of TCP/IP has complicated the deployment of such protocols. We present Kick-Ass a mechanism that enables explicit rate congestion control protocols to be deployed within the TCP/IP stack. The key idea is to utilize packet lengths as a vehicle to communicate explicit rate and other information from routers to endpoints and vice versa.

Fuzzy Explicit Window Adaptation: a Method to Further Enhance TCP Performance
In the current Internet, standard TCP congestion control is based on segment loss events possibly assisted by simple explicit router feedback mechanisms like Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). The performance of TCP congestion control can be improved if a more sophisticated Router Congestion Feedback (RCF) mechanism than ECN is used. One of such approaches is Explicit Window Adaptation (EW...
متن کاملExplicit Rate - based Congestion Control for Multimedia Streaming over Mobile Ad hoc Networks
Design of congestion control mechanism for multi-media streaming over the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) is challenging. Streaming applications require a smooth transmission rate which the Internet is unable to provide whenever there is congestion in the network. The standard TCP congestion control mechanism is not able to handle the special properties of a shared wireless multi hop channel wel...
متن کاملQFCP: A Router-Assisted Congestion Control Mechanism for Heterogeneous Networks (Extended)
Traditional end-to-end congestion control measures packet loss or round-trip delay to sense network congestion. However, this mechanism may not work well in heterogeneous networks. Recently some router-assisted congestion control protocols are proposed to address this challenge. Quick Flow Control Protocol (QFCP) is one of them. QFCP allows flows to start with high initial sending rate and conv...
متن کاملPerformance comparison of router assisted congestion control protocols: XCP vs. RCP
In the current Internet, network overload is prevented by the congestion control of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The traditional TCP congestion control is an endto-end mechanism that suffers from some inherent shortcomings. A design alternative for the Future Internet is to use more feedback from the routers. Such router-assisted congestion control schemes can achieve a more efficie...
متن کاملRetransmission Flow Control Mechanism for Reliable Multicast using Adaptive Caching
In recent years, several network support schemes for reliable multicast were proposed. RMAC(Reliable Multicast using Adaptive Caching) provides router-assisted reliable multicast transport. It improves retransmission efficiency by caching transmitted data adaptively to network condition at RMAC routers. Bandwidth utilization is also improved by dropping unnecessary feedbacks and retransmissions...
