A novel fair bandwidth allocation algorithm for TCP window control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Without appropriately fair buffer management in the network, TCP encounters inherent unfairness towards connections with long round-trip times. This paper proposes a proportional fairness algorithm to correct the bias against these long connections. The algorithm is proven to converge to the fair point using Lyapunov Function. The basic algorithm is further modified to smooth the bursts of traffic. With these modifications, simulation results show that not only can our algorithm improve TCP fairness, but it can obtain good throughput performance as well.

A Novel Congestion Control Algorithm for Large BDP Networks with Wireless Links
A new TCP protocol can succeed for large bandwidth delay product when it meets network bandwidth utilization efficiency and fair sharing. We introduce a novel congestion control algorithm which employs queueing delay information in order to calculate the amount of congestion window increment in increase phase, and reduces congestion window to optimal estimated bound as packet loss occurs. Combi...
متن کاملEnhancements for RTT-Fair HighSpeed TCP
TCP is known to have bandwidth fairness problems for flows of different RTT. HighSpeed TCP, which adapts TCP’s congestion avoidance to grow faster, and thus be able to scale to high bandwidth environments, aggravates the RTT fairness problem since the congestion window increases at a rate proportional to the RTT and the current window size. We propose a method to eliminate the RTT fairness prob...
متن کاملSender-driven bandwidth differentiation for transmitting multimedia flows over TCP
Over the years the Internet has shown extraordinary scalability and robustness in spite of the explosive growth in geographical reach, user population size, as well as network traffic volume. This scalability and robustness is, in no small part, supported by the Internet’s transport protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in particular. Nevertheless, with the rapid growth of multimed...
متن کاملExplicit Window-based Control in Lossy Packet Networks
This paper addresses the problem of fair allocation of bandwidth resources on lossy channels and heterogeneous networks. It discusses more particularly the ability of window-based congestion control to support non-congestion related losses. We investigate methods for efficient packet loss recovery by retransmission, and builds on explicit congestion control mechanisms to decouple the packet los...
متن کاملWeighted Window and Class-Based Weighted Window Methods for Per-Station TCP Fairness in IEEE 802.11 WLANs
TCP unfairness problem in access networks using the 802.11 has been studied by many researchers. Their solutions required that the existing MAC protocol be modified. However, since they did not consider the case when each wireless node has a different number of flows, they cannot provide fairness among wireless nodes having different numbers of flow in both directions. In order to resolve this ...
