Receiver-Based Path Capacity Estimation for TCP
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new TCP-based packet pair measurement approach for network path capacity estimation. It addresses some drawbacks other approaches still bear. In contrast to these, our approach uses an unmodified TCP sender and utilizes techniques to identify probing packets that were less influenced by cross traffic. These techniques are applied at the receiver side only. The concept is verified by simulation and an outline of the applicability for real-life measurements in the Internet is presented.

TCP Probe: A TCP with built-in Path Capacity Estimation
Knowing the capacity of an Internet path is important for efficient network utilization, pricing, and management. Using the capacity information, one can provide better TCP congestion control, multimedia streaming, P2P peer selection, and overlay structuring. Capacity estimation has been extensively studied. Though current approaches have been able to provide fast and accurate capacity estimate...
متن کاملAn Adaptive SCTP Congestion Control Scheme Based on Receiver Available Bandwidth Estimation
Streaming control transmission protocol (SCTP) is one kind of new generation transport layer protocol, is a little modification form TCP. Like TCP, the congestion control mechanism of current SCTP relies on packet loss as an indicator of network congestion. When congestion been detected the sender will reduce congestion window size to half to avoid congestion. In wire/wireless network environme...

With the evolution of network technologies, the deficiencies of TCP protocol are becoming more and more distinct. The new TCP implementation, called Receiver Advertisement Based TCP (TCP-Rab) proposed here to eliminate these deficiencies, adopts two basic mechanisms: (1) Bandwidth Estimation and (2) Immediate Recovery. Bandwidth estimation is carried out at the receiver, and the result is sent ...
متن کاملPacket Path Diversity for TCP File Transfer and Media Transport on the Internet
We study the performance of TCP-based media transport when combined with packet path diversity (PPD) in the Internet. We present a simple PPD-TCP transmission scheme where the acknowledgments (ACKs) from the receiver are duplicated and sent across independent network paths. We also investigate a PPD-TCP scheme where in addition to path-diversified ACKs on the backward path, packet path diversit...
