Reordering of IP Packets in Internet
We have analyzed the measurements of the end-to-end packet reordering by tracing UDP packets between 12 testboxes of RIPE NCC. We showed that reordering quite often happens in Internet. For bursts of 50 100-byte UDP packets, there were about 56% of all the streams arrived at the destinations out-of-order. We studied the extent of the reordering in these streams, and observed that most reordered...
متن کاملProtocol level solutions for the packet reordering problem
The Internet is experiencing an exponential growth in users and network traffic. As the Internet grows larger and larger, the performance of the network is subjected to severe performance degrading issues such as congestion in the network, link failures, corruption of packets and reordering of packets. In this thesis, we examine the problem of packet reordering in networks and how reordering of...
متن کاملA Study of Internet Packet Reordering
Packet reordering is a well-known phenomenon that the order of packets is inverted in the Internet. Previous studies indicates reordering can affect the performance of both the network and the packets receiver. Nevertheless, they get different results about the prevalence of reordering in the Internet. In this paper, we firstly present a methodology for single-point reordering measurement at a ...
متن کاملRobustness to Packet Reordering in High-speed Networks
In this paper we investigate the impact of packet reordering on the performance of high-speed protocols. Our results show that even small fraction of packet reordering can severely impair the performance of these protocols. We then investigate the benefits of using delayed congestion response (TCP-DCR) with the high-speed protocols. Our results indicate that the benefits in terms of avoiding pe...
متن کاملPacket reordering in high-speed networks and its impact on high-speed TCP variants
Several recent Internet measurement studies show that the higher the packet sending rate, the higher the packet-reordering probability. This implies that recently proposed high-speed TCP variants are more likely to experience packet reordering than regular TCP in high-speed networks, since they are designed to achieve much higher throughput than regular TCP in these networks. In this paper, we ...
