Two-Differentiated Marking Strategies for TCP Flows in a Differentiated Services Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The saw-tooth like behaviors of TCP impact Assured Forwarding Service flows in a differentiated services (diffserv) network. Therefore, we argue the use of TCP-friendly building blocks (or modules) and fairness modules in the diffserv architecture regarding this issue, and propose Two Markers System (TMS) that is able to properly mark packets and fairly share the bandwidth to each flow for their targeted sending rates. TMS has two marking modules that are placed on the source and the edge of a diffserv network. For sources of the network, the virtual source making modules play important roles of reducing TCP impacts in the assured services and suitable marking packets. Next, in the edge of the network, the edge embedded marking module conducts new fairness policy based on the marking rate of flows from sources, so called "marking rate-based fairness". Finally, we present simulation results to illustrate the effectiveness of TMS scheme over several parameters. That is, Two Markers System reduces TCP impacts over assured service and fairly shares the bottleneck link bandwidth of a network.

A new Three Color Marker for TCP flows
In Differentiated Services networks, packets may receive a different treatment according to their Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) label. As a consequence, packet marking schemes can be devised to differentiate packets belonging to a same TCP flow, with the goal of improving the experienced performance. This paper presents an extensive performance evaluation of a new adaptive packet ma...
متن کاملTCP-aware packet marking in networks with DiffServ support
In the context of Differentiated Service, the Assured Forwarding class recently proposed by the IETF offers the capabilities of distinguishing two or more classes of packets, based on bit marking in packet headers. Originally, packet marking was intended to be performed according to the aggregate user-profile in the DiffServ model. In this paper we show the benefit of an alternative strategy in...

متن کاملPacket marking for Web traffic in networks with RIO routers
RIO routers, initially proposed in the context of Differentiated Services networks, distinguish between two classes of packets – In-profile and Outprofile – based on a one-bit marking in packet headers. Traditionally, packetmarking is performed by ingress routers according to a user-profile specified in terms of bandwidth. In this paper, we consider an alternative strategy in which packets are ...
متن کاملFairness Measurements about TCP Flows in DS Networks: Comparison of Per-flow and Aggregate Marking Schemes
Traffic marking is an essential component in any Differentiated Services (DS) architecture. Traffic marking can be done with respect to a single flow or a flow aggregate. In a DS network, traffic marking is typically performed at aggregate levels, rather than on the level of individual flows. The use of aggregation raises a number of concerns, such as fairness concern. When we deal with aggrega...
