TCP self-clocking and bandwidth sharing

نویسنده

Allen B. Downey

چکیده

We propose a simple queueing model for TCP transfers sharing a bottleneck link and examine its behavior when the buffer at the bottleneck is large compared to the bandwidth-delay product. This model explains some behaviors of TCP that have already been observed, and predicts other behaviors that are new. We present measurements that demonstrate these behaviors in the current Internet.

TCP Fast Recovery Strategies: Analysis and Improvements

This paper suggests that, to match an ideal Internet gateway which rigorously enforces fair sharing among competing TCP connections, an ideal TCP sender should possess two properties while obeying congestion avoidance and control principles. First, the TCP sender which under-uses network resources should avoid retransmission timeouts. When experiencing network congestion, a TCP connection shoul...

Measurement and Analysis of TCP-Friendly Rate Control for Vertical Handovers

An intersystem or vertical handover is a key enabling mechanism for next generations of mobile communication systems. A vertical handover can cause an abrupt change of up to two orders of magnitude in link bandwidth and latency. It is hard for end-to-end congestion control to adapt promptly to such changes. This is especially a concern for slowly responsive congestion control algorithms such as...

Catch the Whole Lot in an Action: Rapid Precise Packet Loss Notification in Data Centers

An increasing number of TCP performance issues including TCP Incast, TCP Outcast, and long query completion times are common in large-scale data centers. We demonstrate that the root cause of these problems is that existing techniques are unable to maintain self-clocking or to achieve accurate and rapid packet loss notification. We present cutting payload (CP), a mechanism that simply drops a p...

Linear Stability Analysis of FAST TCP Using A New Accurate Link Model

A link model which captures the queue dynamics when congestion windows of TCP sources change was recently proposed. By considering both the self-clocking and the link integrator effects, the model is a generalization of the known extreme cases and is more accurate in general. In this paper, we apply this model to the stability analysis of FAST TCP. It is shown that FAST TCP flows over a single ...
