Round-trip Time Variation in SmoothTCP in the Face of Spurious Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we review the definition of a variant of TCP, called SmoothTCP, and describe one of its versions which uses ICMP-SQ messages as its primary control metric. This version of SmoothTCP is intended to be used in environments subject to spurious errors, such as in wireless networks. We evaluate the behavior of this version of SmoothTCP by comparing it with the behavior of Standard TCP in simulated environments with and without spurious errors. When there are no spurious errors, Standard TCP inherently drops packets and suffers large variations in the congestion window size causing large variations in round-trip time. In the case of spurious errors, Standard TCP encounters wide round-trip time variations around the retransmitted packet that was lost due to a spurious error. In both cases, SmoothTCP exhibits better performance with respect to round-trip time variation.

متن کاملThe Sensitivity of TCP to Sudden Delay Variations in Mobile Networks
This paper studies the impact of variable transmission delays on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Sudden delay variations, which are not uncommon in mobile networks, may degrade the performance since they may cause spurious TCP timeouts. The most important parameter in this context is the TCP retransmission timer. In this paper, we analyze TCP’s round-trip time estimation for bulk data ...
متن کاملOn Window Control Algorithm over Wireless Cellular Networks with Large Delay Variation
In addition to high bit error rates, large and sudden variations in delay often occur in wireless cellular networks. The delay can be several times the typical round-trip time, which can cause the spurious timeout. In this letter, we propose a new window control algorithm to improve TCP performance in wireless cellular networks with large delay variation and high bit error rates. Simulation res...
متن کاملOn Modeling Round-Trip Time Dynamics of the Internet Using System Identification
Understanding the end-to-end packet delay dynamics of the Internet is of crucial importance since it directly affects the QoS (Quality of Services) of realtime services, and it enables us to design an efficient congestion control mechanism. In this paper, we measure the round-trip time, and build a mathematical model representing its dynamics using system identification. We first measure, as th...
