Design and evaluation of an adaptive traffic conditioner for differentiated services networks

چکیده
We design and evaluate an adaptive traffic conditioner to improve application performance over the differentiated services assured forwarding behavior. The conditioner is adaptive because the marking algorithm changes based upon the current number of flows traversing through an edge router. If there are a small number of flows, the conditioner maintains and uses state information to intelligently protect critical TCP packets. On the other hand, if there are many flows going through the edge router, the conditioner only uses flow characteristics as indicated in the TCP packet headers to mark without requiring per flow state. Simulation results indicate that this adaptive conditioner improves throughput of data extensive applications like large FTP transfers, and achieves low packet delays and response times for Telnet and WWW traffic.

A round trip time and time-out aware traffic conditioner for differentiated services networks
TCP connection throughput is inversely proportional to the connection Round Trip Time (RTT). To mitigate TCP bias to short RTT connections, a differentiated services traffic conditioner can ensure connections with long RTTs do not starve when connections with short RTTs get all extra resources after achieving the target rates. Current proposals for RTT-aware conditioners work well for a small n...
متن کاملA Novel Fuzzy Logic Base Scheduling Mechanism for Service Differentiation in IP Networks
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to a set of rules or techniques that help the network administrators use the available network resources optimally to manage the effects of congestion and to treat the applications according to their needs. The differentiated services architecture (DiffServ) allows providing quality of service to users. The major DiffServ premise is that individual flows with sim...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Based Three Color Meter/Marker for Diffserv Networks (RESEARCH NOTE)
Differentiated Services (Diffserv) which was proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is a scalable and robust model for providing the end-to-end QoS. In the Diffserv networks, metering mechanisms are used to measure traffic stream. The single rate Three Color Meter (srTCM) [1],which was proposed by IETF, meters an IP packet stream and marks its packets either green, yellow, or red....
متن کاملA Fair Traffic Conditioner for the Assured Service in a Differentiated Services Internet
A research issue under investigation in the context of differentiated services (DiffServ) is the fair distribution of bandwidth between aggregates sharing the same Assured Forwarding (AF) class. Multiplexing both responsive and unresponsive flows, e.g. TCP and UDP respectively, leads to unfair sharing of the available bandwidth in over-provisioned networks. To date, much effort has concentrated...
متن کاملThe traffic conditioner with promotion and fairness guarantee schemes for DiffServ networks
In this paper, we propose a traffic conditioner with promotion and fairness guarantee (TC_PFG) schemes to amend the inappropriate marking by conventional traffic conditioners. The TC_PFG is based on the Two Rate Three Color Marker (TRTCM) scheme. It can allocate appropriate bandwidth to micro-flows to reduce the unfair distribution among micro-flows and improve the utilization by allowing promo...
