TCP over a multi-state Markovian path
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we analyze the performance of a TCP-like ow control mechanism. The transmission rate is considered to increase linearly in time until the receipt of a congestion notiication (via loss detection in context of TCP) where the transmission rate is multiplicatively decreased. We introduce a general model based on a multi-state Markov chain for the moments at which the congestion is detected. With this model, we are able to account for correlation and burstiness in congestion moments. Furthermore, we specify several simple versions of our general model and then we identify their parameters from real TCP traces.

Performance analysis of AIMD mechanisms over a multi-state Markovian path
We analyze the performance of an Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD)-like flow control mechanism. The transmission rate is considered to increase linearly in time until the receipt of a congestion notification, when the transmission rate is multiplicatively decreased. AIMD captures the steady state behavior of TCP in the absence of timeouts and in the absence of maximum window size...
متن کاملEvaluating Multipath TCP Resilience against Link Failures
Standard TCP is the de facto reliable transfer protocol for the Internet. It is designed to establish a reliable connection using only a single network interface. However, standard TCP with single interfacing performs poorly due to intermittent node connectivity. This requires the re-establishment of connections as the IP addresses change. Multi-path TCP (MPTCP) has emerged to utilize multiple ...
متن کاملDynamic Multi Period Production Planning Problem with Semi Markovian Variable Cost (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper develops a method for solving the single product multi-period production-planning problem, in which the production and the inventory costs of each period arc concave and backlogging is not permitted. It is also assumed that the unit variable cost of the production evolves according to a continuous time Markov process. We prove that this production-planning problem can be Stated as a ...
متن کاملCharacterizing 4G and 3G Networks: Supporting Mobility with Multi-Path TCP
Advances in cellular technology have increased the demand of accessing the Internet dramatically. Cellular technology not only enables mobility, but also allows redundant connectivity using multiple wireless paths to improve availability, reliability, and performance. Multiple paths enable the potential to shift traffic from broken or congested paths to higher-quality ones as traffic characteri...
متن کاملPerformance de Compound TCP en présence de pertes aléatoires
We analyze the performance of a single, long-lived, Compound TCP (CTCP) connection in the presence of random packet losses. CTCP is a new version of TCP implemented in Microsoft Windows to improve the performance on networks with large bandwidth delay-products. We derive a Markovian model for the CTCP sending window and compute the steady state distribution of the window and the average through...
