In this Comments, several errors in Padhye , 2000, are pointed out. The more serious of these errors result in an over prediction of the send rate. The expression obtained for send rate in this Comments leads to greater accuracy when compared with the measurement data than the originals end rate expression in Padhye et al. 相似文献

In this paper we use an analytic fluid approach in order to analyze the different features of both Vegas and Reno TCP versions.
We then use simulations to confirm our analytic results. When the available bandwidth is high, indeed Vegas can retransmit
less than one‐fifth as much data as Reno does, so that the higher the available bandwidth is, the more efficient Vegas is.
However, under heavy congestion Vegas behaves like Reno and does not manage to make efficient use of its new mechanism for
congestion detection. The analytic results that we obtain are the evolution of the window size, round trip times and their
averages, and the average throughput.
This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

It has been proved theoretically that a network with heterogeneous congestion control algorithms that react to different congestion
signals can have multiple equilibrium points. In this paper, we demonstrate this experimentally using TCP Reno and Vegas/FAST.
We also show that any desired inter-protocol fairness is in principle achievable by an appropriate choice of Vegas/FAST parameter, and that intra-protocol fairness among flows within each protocol
is unaffected by the presence of the other protocol except for a reduction in effective link capacities. Dummynet experiments
and ns-2 simulations are presented to verify these results. 相似文献

On TCP performance in a heterogeneous network: a survey 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Transmission media carrying Internet traffic present a wide range of characteristics, some of which, such as transmission errors, long end-to-end delay, and bandwidth asymmetry, may cause a degradation of the TCP performance. Many works have studied the performance of TCP over these media, most of which focus on a particular network type. In this work we study TCP performance independent of the type of network by considering the different possible characteristics of the connection path. We present the problems and the different proposed solutions. This study permits us to understand the limitations of the actual solutions and the required modifications to let TCP cope with a heterogeneous Internet on an end-to-end basis 相似文献

Continuing the process of improvements made to TCP through the addition of new algorithms in Tahoe and Reno, TCP SACK aims to provide robustness to TCP in the presence of multiple losses from the same window. In this paper we present analytic models to estimate the latency and steady-state throughput of TCP Tahoe, Reno, and SACK and validate our models using both simulations and TCP traces collected from the Internet. In addition to being the first models for the latency of finite Tahoe and SACK flows, our model for the latency of TCP Reno gives a more accurate estimation of the transfer times than existing models. The improved accuracy is partly due to a more accurate modeling of the timeouts, evolution of cwnd during slow start and the delayed ACK timer. Our models also show that, under the losses introduced by the droptail queues which dominate most routers in the Internet, current implementations of SACK can fail to provide adequate protection against timeouts and a loss of roughly more than half the packets in a round will lead to timeouts. We also show that with independent losses SACK performs better than Tahoe and Reno and, as losses become correlated, Tahoe can outperform both Reno and SACK. 相似文献

Providing reliable data communications over wireless channels is a challenging task because time-varying wireless channel
characteristics often lead to bit errors. These errors result in loss of IP packets and, consequently, TCP segments encapsulated
into these packets. Since TCP cannot distinguish packet losses due to bit corruption from those due to network congestion,
any packet loss caused by wireless channel impairments leads to unnecessary execution of the TCP congestion control algorithms
and, hence, sub-optimal performance. Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) try to improve communication
reliability and reduce packet losses by detecting and recovering corrupted bits. Most analytical models that studied the effect
of ARQ and FEC on TCP performance assumed that the ARQ scheme is perfectly persistent (i.e., completely reliable), thus a
frame is always successfully transmitted irrespective of the number of transmission attempts it takes. In this paper, we develop
an analytical cross-layer model for a TCP connection running over a wireless channel with a semi-reliable ARQ scheme, where
the amount of transmission attempts is limited by some number. The model allows to evaluate the joint effect of stochastic
properties of the wireless channel characteristics and various implementation-specific parameters on TCP performance, which
makes it suitable for performance optimization studies. The input parameters include the bit error rate, the value of the
normalized autocorrelation function of bit error observations at lag 1, the strength of the FEC code, the persistency of ARQ,
the size of protocol data units at different layers, the raw data rate of the wireless channel, and the bottleneck link buffer
size. 相似文献

Modeling TCP behavior in a differentiated services network 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The differentiated services architecture has been proposed for providing different levels of services and has received wide attention. A packet in a diff-serv domain is classified into a class of service according to its contract profile and treated differently by its class. While many studies have addressed issues on the diff-serv architecture (e.g., dropper, marker, classifier and shaper), there have been few attempts to analytically understand a flow's behavior in a diff-serv network. We propose simple models of TCP behavior in a diff-serv network. Our models quantitatively characterize TCP throughput as functions of the contract rate, the packet-drop rate and the round-trip time in either two-drop precedence or three-drop precedence network. We also extend our models to aggregated flows. The models are validated through a number of simulations 相似文献

Explicit window adaptation: a method to enhance TCP performance 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We study the performance of TCP in an internetwork consisting of both rate-controlled and nonrate-controlled segments. A common example of such an environment occurs when the end systems are part of IP datagram networks interconnected by a rate-controlled segment, such as an ATM network using the available bit rate (ABR) service. In the absence of congestive losses in either segment, TCP keeps increasing its window to its maximum size. Mismatch between the TCP window and the bandwidth-delay product of the network results in accumulation of large queues and possibly buffer overflows in the devices at the edges of the rate-controlled segment, causing degraded throughput and unfairness. We develop an explicit feedback scheme, called explicit window adaptation, based on modifying the receiver's advertised window in TCP acknowledgments returning to the source. The window size indicated to TCP is a function of the free buffer in the edge device. Results from simulations with a wide range of traffic scenarios show that this explicit window adaptation scheme can control the buffer occupancy efficiently at the edge device, and results in significant improvements in packet loss rate, fairness, and throughput over a packet discard policy such as random early detection (RED) 相似文献

In this paper, we propose an analytical cross‐layer model for a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection running over a covariance‐stationary wireless channel with a completely reliable Automatic Repeat reQuest scheme combined with Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding. Since backbone networks today are highly overprovisioned, we assume that the wireless channel is the only one bottleneck in the system which causes packets to be buffered at the wired/wireless interface and dropped as a result of buffer overflow. We develop the model in two steps. At the first step, we consider the service process of the wireless channel and derive the probability distribution of the time required to successfully transmit an IP packet over the wireless channel. This distribution is used at the next step of the modeling, where we derive expressions for the TCP long‐term steady‐state throughput, the mean round‐trip time, and the spurious timeout probability. The developed model allows to quantify the joint effect of many implementation‐specific parameters on the TCP performance over both correlated and non‐correlated wireless channels. We also demonstrate that TCP spurious timeouts, reported in some empirical studies, do not occur when wireless channel conditions are covariance‐stationary and their presence in those measurements should be attributed to non‐stationary behavior of the wireless channel characteristics.

In this paper, we study the performance of the transmission control protocol (TCP) over mobile ad‐hoc networks. We present a comprehensive set of simulation results and identify the key factors that impact TCP's performance over ad‐hoc networks. We use a variety of parameters including link failure detection latency, route computation latency, packet level route unavailability index, and flow level route unavailability index to capture the impact of mobility. We relate the impact of mobility on the different parameters to TCP's performance by studying the throughput, loss‐rate and retransmission timeout values at the TCP layer. We conclude from our results that existing approaches to improve TCP performance over mobile ad‐hoc networks have identified and hence focused only on a subset of the affecting factors. In the process, we identify a comprehensive set of factors influencing TCP performance. Finally, using the insights gained through the performance evaluations, we propose a framework called Atra consisting of three simple and easily implementable mechanisms at the MAC and routing layers to improve TCP's performance over ad‐hoc networks. We demonstrate that Atra improves on the throughput performance of a default protocol stack by 50%–100%. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

This paper describes a technique for enhancing the effectiveness of RED by dynamically changing the threshold settings as the number of connections (and system load) changes. Using this technique, routers and switches can effectively control packet losses and TCP timeouts while maintaining high link utilization. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A simple model of EMI-induced timing jitter in digital circuits, its statistical distribution and its effect on circuit performance 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A simple model has been developed to characterize electromagnetic interference induced timing variations (jitter) in digital circuits. The model is based on measurable switching parameters of logic gates, and requires no knowledge of the internal workings of a device. It correctly predicts not only the dependence of jitter on the amplitude, modulation depth and frequency of the interfering signal, but also its statistical distribution. The model has been used to calculate the immunity level and bit error rate of a synchronous digital circuit subjected to radio frequency interference, and to compare the electromagnetic compatibility performance of fast and slow logic devices in such a circuit. 相似文献

TCP performance enhancement in wireless access networks is an important ongoing area of research. It is known that the hostile nature of the wireless channel and the mobile nature of wireless users interact adversely with standard TCP congestion control mechanisms [1], causing a drastic reduction in throughput. This article surveys a selection of different approaches to managing TCP performance over wireless links, and presents the results of simulation and field trial results of a novel TCP performance enhancing proxy over diverse cellular radio access technologies based on the GSM, cdma2000, and UMTS standards. The proposed TRL TCP performance enhancing proxy has the advantages of being completely transparent to both TCP endpoints and tunable to different access technologies, and frequently achieves the maximum throughput available from any of the studied radio access technologies. 相似文献

FAST TCP is important for promoting data-intensive applications since it can cleverly react to both packet loss and delay for detecting network congestion. This paper provides a continuous time model and extensive stability analysis of FAST TCP congestion-control mechanism in bufferless Optical Burst Switched Networks (OBS). The paper first shows that random burst contentions are essential to stabilize the network, but cause throughput degradation in FAST TCP flows when a burst with all the packets from a single round is dropped. Second, it shows that FAST TCP is vulnerable to burst delay and fails to detect network congestion due to the little variation of round-trip time, thus unstable. Finally it shows that introducing extra delays by implementing burst retransmission stabilizes FAST TCP over OBS. The paper proves that FAST TCP is not stable over barebone OBS. However, it is locally, exponentially, and asymptotically stable over OBS with burst retransmission. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a study on the performance of TCP, in terms of both throughput and energy consumption, in the presence of a wideband CDMA radio interface typical of third generation wireless systems. The results show that the relationship between throughput and average error rate is largely independent of the network load, making it possible to introduce a universal throughput curve, empirically characterized, which gives throughput predictions for each value of the user error probability. Furthermore, the study of the energy efficiency shows the possibility to select an optimal power control threshold to maximize the trade‐off between throughput and energy, thereby potentially achieving very significant energy gains.

TCP Smart Framing, or TCP-SF for short, enables the Fast Retransmit/Recovery algorithms even when the congestion window is small. Without modifying the TCP congestion control based on the additive-increase/multiplicative-decrease paradigm, TCP-SF adopts a novel segmentation algorithm: while Classic TCP always tries to send full-sized segments, a TCP-SF source adopts a more flexible segmentation algorithm to try and always have a number of in-flight segments larger than 3 so as to enable Fast Recovery. We motivate this choice by real traffic measurements, which indicate that today's traffic is populated by short-lived flows, whose only means to recover from a packet loss is by triggering a Retransmission Timeout. The key idea of TCP-SF can be implemented on top of any TCP flavor, from Tahoe to SACK, and requires modifications to the server TCP stack only, and can be easily coupled with recent TCP enhancements. The performance of the proposed TCP modification were studied by means of simulations, live measurements and an analytical model. In addition, the analytical model we have devised has a general scope, making it a valid tool for TCP performance evaluation in the small window region. Improvements are remarkable under several buffer management schemes, and maximized by byte-oriented schemes. 相似文献
