Analysis of ADSL traffic on an IP backbone link
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurements from an Internet backbone link carrying TCP traffic towards different ADSL areas are analyzed in this paper. For traffic analysis, we adopt a flow based approach and the popular mice/elephants dichotomy. The originality of the experimental data reported in this paper, when compared with previous measurements from very high speed backbone links, is in that commercial traffic comprises a significant part generated by peer-to-peer applications. This kind of traffic exhibits some remarkable properties in terms of mice and elephants, which are described in this paper. It turns out that by adopting a suitable level of aggregation, the bit rate of mice can be described by means of a Gaussian process. The bit rate of elephants is smoother than that of mice and can also be well approximated by a Gaussian process.

Performance of TCP/IP over ATM over an ADSL
The performance of TCP/IP over ATM over an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) was investigated. Because the bandwidth of an ADSL link can vary over time due to changes in the link’s physical conditions, which degrades TCP performance, we performed simulations for various ATM traffic controls, including available bit rate (ABR) and generic flow control, used to handle variations in the AD...
متن کاملExperimental analysis of the impact of peer-to-peer applications on traffic in commercial IP networks
To evaluate the impact of peer-to-peer applications on traffic in wide area networks, we analyze measurements from a high speed IP backbone link carrying TCP traffic towards several ADSL areas. The first observations are that the prevalent part of traffic is due to peer-to-peer applications (almost 80% of total traffic) and that the usage of network becomes symmetric in the sense that customers...
متن کاملApplication-Level Performance of ADSL Users
We report results from the analysis of a 24-hour packet trace containing aggregate TCP traffic of approximately 1300 residential ADSL clients. We make observations similar to earlier studies by the research community: the major fraction of the total traffic originates from P2P applications and small fractions of connections and clients are responsible for the vast majority of the traffic. Howev...
متن کاملRouting Optimization in IP/MPLS Networks under Per-Class Over-Provisioning Constraints
MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) and DiffServ (Differentiated Services) provide means to implement various QoS types in IP networks. While MPLS enhances the classical IP networks by supporting efficient connection control through explicit label-switched paths (LSPs), DiffServ allows differentiated QoS parameters commitments to be supported on the same IP backbone for different classes of s...

Service providers have been projecting growth rates ranging from 50 to 300% per year for this traffic. This growth is being fueled by various Web-based applications (for example, e-commerce and multi...
