The dual flow control problem of TCP over ATM ABR services
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the dual control problem*TCP #ow control at the TCP layer and ABR #ow control at the ATM layer. First, we observe that TCP #ow control and ABR #ow control cannot co-operate well. The worst case is that the slow start after packet loss causes high but unused ACR (Allowed Cell Rate) which raises the potential of cell loss and an under#owed switch queue which reduces ABR throughput. We suggest to implement a use-it-or-lose-it policy for ABR and fast recovery for TCP to avoid these phenomena. Copyright ( 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Performance of TCP/IP over ATM over an ADSL
The performance of TCP/IP over ATM over an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) was investigated. Because the bandwidth of an ADSL link can vary over time due to changes in the link’s physical conditions, which degrades TCP performance, we performed simulations for various ATM traffic controls, including available bit rate (ABR) and generic flow control, used to handle variations in the AD...
متن کاملPerformance of TCP applications over ATM networks with ABR and UBR services - a simulation analysis
This paper aims to present a comparative simulation study of the performance of TCP traffic over ATM networks with UBR and ABR services; to identify weaknesses of currently most promising ATM congestion control schemes; and to indicate the requirements for a fairer, simpler and more robust congestion control mechanism. Variety of congestion control schemes under various network configurations a...
متن کاملThe Performance of TCP Over ATM ABR and UBR Services
Xiangrong CAI {[email protected]} This is a survey paper on the performance of TCP over ATM ABR and UBR services. Using throughput and fairness as our performance metrics, the effect of the following factors to the performance of TCP over ATM ABR and UBR is discussed here: (1)the switch dropping policies when overflow happens(simple discard, Tail Drop, Drop From Front, Early Packet Drop, P...
متن کاملAcknowledgment Bucket Scheme for Regulating TCP Flow over ATM
The available bit rate (ABR) service has been developed to support data traac over ATM networks and provide end-to-end congestion control at the ATM layer. However, as most data applications today are only connected to ATM via legacy networks, simulation results in past ATM Forum contributions suggest that ABR may still cause congestion at network edges and cannot provide adequate ow control on...
متن کاملAn agent based congestion control and notification scheme for TCP over ABR
̋ We overview in this paper the enhancement of TCP’s congestion control mechanisms using Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) over ATM networks. Congestion is indicated by not only packet losses as is currently the case but an agent implemented at the network’s edge as well. The agent bridges the gap between the ATM layer and the TCP layer in the protocol stack at the receiver end and coordina...
