Effectiveness of ECN and RED Based Congestion Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This project evaluates performance of of TCP RENO under Random Early Detection (RED) and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) -based schemes of congestion avoidance. The evaluation is done in a number of Wide Area Network (WAN) scenarios, which are analyzed for throughput, droprate and fairness.

TCP increase/decrease behavior with explicit congestion notification (ECN)
We investigate the effect of TCP Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) with a new response strategy that is more aggressive in the short term, but preserves TCP long term behavior, without modifying the router marking rate. A less aggressive ECN decrease gives more incentives for end systems to become ECN-compliant, as ECN serves as an early warning sign in this case. Our analysis and simulati...
متن کاملA Simulation Study of the Interoperability of TCPW with RED and ECN
Active Queue Management (AQM) schemes aim to stabilize router queue sizes and provide better fairness among a set of TCP connections. Random Early Detection (RED) is one of the first and well-known AQM schemes. Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is a modified version of RED in that it notifies a sender about congestion, instead of dropping its packet. Under such AQM schemes, TCP connections...
متن کاملComplementing Current Active Queue Management Schemes with Receiver- Window Modification (RWM)
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) and Active Queue Management Schemes such as Random Early Detection (RED), Adaptive Random Early Detection (ARED) and BLUE queues have been proposed for TCP/IP networks to compensate network congestion. However, using ECN requires that ECN be supported by both TCP senders and receivers. This paper presents a novel AQM modification called Receiver-Window Mod...
متن کاملFormal modelling of TCP congestion control mechanisms ECN/RED and SAP-LAW in the presence of UDP traffic
Congestion avoidance mechanisms are used to prevent the saturation of the gateway which represents a bottleneck of the system. Recently, a new method for the congestion avoidance has been proposed: the smart access point with limited advertised window (SAP-LAW). The main idea is to hijack at the gateway the acknowledge packets in the transmission control protocol (TCP) connections in order to a...
متن کاملEnhancing TCP Throughput over Lossy Links Using ECN-Capable RED Gateways
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), when used with Random Early Detection (RED) gateways, reduces packet losses and delays of Transport Control Protocol (TCP) based applications. However, choosing the buffer size and optimum parameter values of RED buffers are still open research issues. In this paper, we first present a model to determine the optimal value of RED’s maximum threshold to ach...
