Understanding highspeed TCP: A control-theoretic perspective

چکیده
One of the most promising solution for transport protocol over very high bandwidth-delay product networks is HighSpeed TCP. However, little is known about its performance as well as its interaction with other elements of the network (such as the RED queue management). In this paper, a comprehensive control-theoretic analysis of HighSpeed TCP is provided. We develop a fluid-flow model of the HighSpeed TCP/RED network and use it to study its performance. The main contributions of this paper are the following. Firstly, we provide a fluid-flow model for HighSpeed TCP/RED networks. Secondly, a comprehensive and systematic implementation methodology is described in detail. We also provide a Simulink-based framework for analyzing fluid-based models. Thirdly, we give stability conditions for HighSpeed TCP/RED networks. Finally, the results are validated by simulations using Ns-2 [11].

متن کاملStability Analysis of a Window-based Flow Control Mechanism for TCP Connections with Different Propagation Delays
A feedback-based congestion control mechanism is essential to realize an efficient best-effort service in highspeed networks. A window-based flow control mechanism called TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), a sort of feedbackbased congestion control mechanism, has been widely used in the current Internet. Recently, TCP Vegas has been proposed, which is another version of TCP mechanism, and ach...

This paper reports some results on the performance of HighSpeed TCP. Firstly, we find that the only publicly available simulation results in [6] are only qualitatively valid but not quantitatively and we show how to correct them. Secondly, our results show that the version of TCP used has minimal impact on the performance of HighSpeed TCP. Thirdly, we observe that as the number of flows increas...
متن کاملA HighSpeed TCP Study: Characteristics and Deployment Issues
The current congestion control mechanism used in TCP has difficulty reaching full utilization on high speed links, particularly on wide-area connections. For example, the packet drop rate needed to fill a Gigabit pipe using the present TCP protocol is below the currently achievable fiber optic error rates. HighSpeed TCP was recently proposed as a modification of TCP’s congestion control mechani...
