The Adverse Impact of the TCP Congestion-Control Mechanism in Distributed Systems

چکیده

Several studies in network tra c characterization have concluded that network tra c is self-similar and therefore is not readily amenable to statistical multiplexing in a distributed computing system. This paper examines the e ects of the TCP protocol stack on network tra c via an experimental study on the di erent implementations of TCP. We show that even when aggregate application tra c smooths out as more applications' tra c are multiplexed, TCP introduces burstiness into the aggregate tra c load, reducing network performance when statistical multiplexing is used within the network gateways.

Improvement of the mechanism of congestion avoidance in mobile networks

Mobile ad hoc network congestion control is a significant problem. Standard mechanism for congestion control (TCP), the ability to run certain features of a wireless network, several mutations are not common. In particular, the enormous changes in the network topology and the joint nature of the wireless network. It also creates significant challenges in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), density ...

The 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 ...

Congestion Management in Power Systems Via Intelligent Method

In the deregulated power systems, transmission congestion is one of the significant and main problems of the electrical networks which can cause incremental cost in the energy. This problem has resulted to new challenging issues in different parts of power systems which there was not in the traditional systems or at least had very little importance. Transmission congestion happens when the maxi...

Design of H� Congestion Controller for TCP Networks Based on LMI Formulation

In this paper, a state feedback H¥ controller is proposed in order to design an active queue management (AQM) system based on congestion control algorithm for networks supporting TCP protocols. In this approach, the available link bandwidth is modeled as a time-variant disturbance. The purpose of this paper is to design a controller which is capable of achieving the queue size and can guarantee...

Performance Optimization of Transmission Control Protocol in Heterogeneous Wireless Network during Mobility

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has shown serious performance limitations on wireless media. The main causes of these limitations have their root in mobility and link characteristics of wireless media. Heterogeneous environment of multiple radio-access technologies generally increases handover frequency, causing adverse impact on TCP flow and congestion control operations. In this paper, we...
