Estimating traffic parameters in Internet via active measurements for QoS and congestion control
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we develop a scheme which can help provide certain QoS via active measurement techniques. We send a probing stream, using the TCP or the UDP protocol, on a path with one bottleneck router. Several TCP and UDP connections (cross traffic) may be sharing the link on the router. We make measurements on the RTT and the throughput of the probing stream and do not assume any knowledge of the cross traffic. Then we obtain estimates of the mean delay and the throughput a new TCP or UDP stream will obtain through that router. We also obtain the total traffic intensity of the UDP streams and the total work load in the queue by the TCP connections in the cross traffic. The router may or may not employ RED control. We find that using TCP for a probing stream provides better estimates than using the UDP.

Internet Traffic has grown exponentially over last few years due to provision of multiple class services through Internet backbone. With the explosive use of Internet, contemporary Internet routers are susceptible to overloads and their services deteriorate drastically and often cause denial of services. In this paper, an analysis is made how forecasting technique, routing algorithm and Genetic...

In future it will be increasingly important for the customers and the service providers to make measurements in the Internet to ensure the QoS required by various services. But not everyone will have access to all the information available at the various network components (e.g. at the routers) for such measurements. Thus it is important to devise new methods to estimate traffic intensity at va...

With the rapid growth of Internet traffic, the control of congestion to enable different types of Internet traffic to satisfy specified Quality of Service (QoS) constraints is becoming increasingly important. This motivates the stochastic analysis of a discrete-time queueing system for the performance evaluation of active queue management (AQM) scheme based congestion control mechanism called R...

There is a strong demand for Quality of Service (QoS) in the internet. One key element of QoS is traffic management during congestion. Congestion occurs when aggregate load exceeds the capacity on bottleneck link. In this paper, congestion is caused by heterogeneous traffic. A queue builds up in the router servicing the bottleneck link. We advocate RED (random early detection) as AQM (active qu...

Active queue management (AQM) promises to overcome the current limitations of end-host only congestion control by providing congestion feedback information before router queue buffers overflow. Many emerging AQM approaches use proportional integral (PI) controller design because of PI’s simplicity and effectiveness. Unfortunately, these promising AQMs still face a critical deployment challenge ...
