Bandwidth Allocation for Non-Responsive Flows with Active Queue Management

چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of configuring active queue management systems (e.g. WRED and RIO) for service level specifications in Internetworks. In particular, we focus on Assured Forwarding (AF) for non-responsive flows in Differentiated Services networks. The difficulty is to determine the correct queue level thresholds that will result in correct drop rates for various AF precedence levels under any combination of offered loads. A new active queue management scheme based on control loop is proposed that senses not only queue levels but also rates of queue levels changes and per flow bit rates to converge automatically to an optimal set of transmit fractions. The scheme has been implemented and tested on a network processor. Results show that the new active queue management scheme protects assured aggregated flow rates during periods of congestion. For non-responsive traffic the buffer occupancy level remains low during 250% offered load. Keywords—Differentiated Services, Active Queue Management, Quality of Service, AIMD

A new bandwidth sharing scheme for non-responsive multicast flows
In this work, we propose a new active queue management mechanism called MFQ (Multicast Fair Queuing) for multicast flows. MFQ is independent of the inter-multicast fairness policy and it interacts with a multicast bandwidth allocation module that can implement either a multicast fairness policy or a multicast pricing model and tries using a single FIFO queue to achieve the expected allocation w...
متن کاملA queue management algorithm for fair bandwidth allocation
In this thesis, a stateless active queue management algorithm called “PUNSI” which aims to achieve fair bandwidth allocation in congested routers is proposed. This algorithm prevents unresponsive flows from dominating available bandwidth shared with responsive flows by penalizing packets from unresponsive flows hopefully with a higher probability than those from responsive flows. It is motivate...
متن کاملActive Queue Management for Fair Bandwidth Allocation of Mixed Responsive and Non-Responsive Traffic Using a Closed-Loop Congestion Control Scheme
Today’s known and widely used active queue management (AQM) schemes do not differentiate between packets from responsive (e.g., TCP sessions) and non-responsive traffic (e.g., UDP). This results in further widening the gap of unfair advantage already inherent to non-responsive traffic, as the responsive sender will significantly reduce its future transmit rate as a result of the congestion sign...
متن کاملA stateless active queue management scheme for approximating fair bandwidth allocation
We investigate the problem of providing a fair bandwidth allocation to each of flows that share the outgoing link of a congested router. The buffer at the outgoing link is a simple FIFO, shared by packets belonging to the flows. We devise a simple packet dropping scheme, called CHOKe, that discriminates against the flows which submit more packets/sec than is allowed by their fair share. By doin...
متن کاملA Simple and Scalable Fair Bandwidth Sharing Mechanism for Multicast Flows
Despite a decade of research and development, multicast has not yet been deployed on a global scale. Among the difficulties with the current infrastructure are intermulticast fairness support, multicast congestion control, and multicast routing. In this paper, we focus on the inter-multicast fairness issue which addresses the way how the network resources are shared between competing multicast ...
