Control architecture for tuning intensity and burstiness of traffic
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we explore a control architecture that can implement active queue management and transport control. For queue management, two independent metrics — utilization factor and burstiness factor , are used to characterize queueing congestion state. Consequently, two information bits are generated to guide the sender’s adaptation of traffic intensity and burstiness. Transport control is achieved through the combination of a window and a token bucket that can respond to the twobit feedback properly. Preliminary simulation study shows that this architecture can easily achieve a specified throughput and constrain both queueing delay and delay jitter within specified bounds.

Measurement and Analysis of Intraflow Performance Characteristics of Wireless Traffic
It is by now widely accepted that the arrival process of aggregate network traffic exhibits self-similar characteristics which result in the preservation of traffic burstiness (high variability) over a wide range of timescales. This behaviour has been structurally linked to the presence of heavy-tailed, infinite variance phenomena at the level of individual network connections, file sizes, tran...
متن کاملConnection-Level Modeling of Network Traffic
Aggregate network traffic exhibits strong burstiness and non-Gaussian marginals, which popular models like fractional Gaussian noise (fGn) fail to capture. To better understand the cause of traffic burstiness, we look into connection-level information of traffic trace. A careful study reveals that traffic burstiness is directly related to the heterogeneity in connection bandwidths (and round-tr...
متن کاملA Burstiness Control for TCP
In this paper, we propose a two-layer model for TCP traffic with burstiness effect. We show that the backlog in bottleneck queue is bounded by the sum of two components: the long term effect of congestion window control algorithm and the short term effect of burstiness. This motivates a formal definition of burstiness. A simple algorithm is proposed to measure and control burstiness at the send...

Stochastic modeling of network traffic is an area of significant research activity for current and future broadband communication networks. Multimedia traffic is statistically characterized by a bursty variable bit rate (VBR) profile. In this paper, we develop an improved model for uniform activity level video sources in ATM using a doubly stochastic autoregressive model driven by an underlying...
متن کاملThe Adverse Impact of the TCP Congestion-Control Mechanism in Heterogeneous Computing Systems
Via experimental study, we illustrate how TCP modulates application traffic in such a way as to adversely affect network performance in a heterogeneous computing system. Even when aggregate application traffic smooths out as more applications’ traffic are multiplexed, TCP induces burstiness into the aggregate traffic load, and thus hurts network performance. This burstiness is particularly bad ...
