Interference Effect of UDP Mixed with TCP-RED

چکیده
Multimedia applications are gaining momentum as the principal service on the Internet. Because most of multimedia service use the UDP protocol to carry the traffic over the Internet, it is very important therefore to explore the interaction between UDP and TCP protocol in the routers. In this paper, we apply the matrix-analytic approach to explore the interactive behavior between UDP and TCP protocol under RED scheme. In order to reduce the analysis complexity of RED mechanism, we chose to bypass the interactions between TCP sessions and RED mechanisms and constructed a simple queuing model for RED mechanism with UDP and TCP traffic which follow a continuous-time Markovian arrival process (MAP). The queueing model of the router with RED scheme is modelled as MAP/M/1/K. With the numerical results, we find that as the arrival rate of UDP traffic increases, the drop probability of TCP traffic will also increase under RED scheme. In practice, this effect causes TCP congestion control protocol to reduce the transmission rate of TCP traffic. This is an unfair effect for providing multimedia applications on the Internet. Based on this observation, the router in the Internet must implement some mechanisms to suppress this effect.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Mixed TCP and UDP Traffic Under RED
Recently researchers have proposed active queue management (AQM) mechanisms as a means of better managing congestion at the bottlenecks inside the network. Random Early Detection (RED) mechanism has been proposed to control the average queue size at the congested routers. It has been shown that the interaction between an RED gateway and TCP connections can lead to period-doubling bifurcation an...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Routers with TCP and UDP Connections with Priority and RED Control
We analyse the performance of a router with multiple TCP and UDP connections. The UDP stream has preemptive resume or non pre-emptive priority over the TCP connections. The UDP stream modeled as a Markov modulated Poisson process can actually be a superposition of several UDP streams. The TCP streams can have different propagation delays, packet size distributions and maximum window sizes. We o...
متن کاملProviding QoS to TCP and Real Time Connections in the Internet
We consider a system where streaming and/or real time applications, using the UDP protocol pass through a bottleneck router. Several persistent and non persistent TCP connections may also be passing through that router. Using the rate control at the UDP sources and choosing the RED parameters appropriately, we obtain pre-specified delays, little delay jitter, no packet loss, 100% channel effici...
متن کاملInteractions between TCP, UDP and Routing Protocols in Wireless Multi-hop Ad hoc Networks
The achieved throughput in an ad hoc network is affected by many factors, including radio interference between hops, the ability of the routing protocol to react on topology changes and a complex interaction between the application and underlying protocols. This paper studies experimentally the impact of these factors on UDP and TCP throughput. Furthermore, when both TCP and UDP share some hops...
متن کاملLightweight Active Router-Queue Management for Multimedia Networking
The Internet research community is promoting active queue management in routers as a proactive means of addressing congestion in the Internet. Active queue management mechanisms such as Random Early Detection (RED) work well for TCP flows but can fail in the presence of unresponsive UDP flows. Recent proposals extend RED to strongly favor TCP and TCP-like flows and to actively penalize “misbeha...
