For optical burst-switched (OBS) networks in which TCP is implemented at a higher layer, the loss of bursts can lead to serious
degradation of TCP performance. Due to the bufferless nature of OBS, random burst losses may occur, even at low traffic loads.
Consequently, these random burst losses may be mistakenly interpreted by the TCP layer as congestion in the network. The TCP
sender will then trigger congestion control mechanisms, thereby reducing TCP throughput unnecessarily. In this paper, we introduce
a controlled retransmission scheme in which the bursts lost due to contention in the OBS network are retransmitted at the
OBS layer. The OBS retransmission scheme can reduce the burst loss probability in the OBS core network. Also, the OBS retransmission
scheme can reduce the probability that the TCP layer falsely detects congestion, thereby improving the TCP throughput. We
develop an analytical model for evaluating the burst loss probability in an OBS network that uses a retransmission scheme,
and we also analyze TCP throughput when the OBS layer implements burst retransmission. We develop a simulation model to validate
the analytical results. Simulation and analytical results show that an OBS layer with controlled burst retransmission provides
up to two to three orders of magnitude improvement in TCP throughput over an OBS layer without burst retransmission. This
significant improvement is primarily because the TCP layer triggers fewer time-outs when the OBS retransmission scheme is
used. 相似文献

A major concern in optical burst-switched (OBS) networks is contention, which occurs when more than one bursts contend for the same data channel at the same time. Due to the bufferless nature of OBS networks, these contentions randomly occur at any degree of congestion in the network. When contention occurs at any core node, the core node drops bursts according to its dropping policy. Burst loss in OBS networks significantly degrades the throughput of TCP sources in the local access networks because current TCP congestion control mechanisms perform a slow start phase mainly due to contention rather than heavy congestion. However, there has not been much study about the impact of burst loss on the performance of TCP over OBS networks. To improve TCP throughput over OBS networks, we first introduce a dropping policy with burst retransmission that retransmits the bursts dropped due to contention, at the ingress node. Then, we extend the dropping policy with burst retransmission to drop a burst that has experienced fewer retransmissions in the event of contention at a core node in order to reduce the number of events that a TCP source enters the slow start phase due to contention. In addition, we propose to limit the number of retransmissions of each burst to prevent severe congestion. For the performance evaluation of the proposed schemes, we provide an analytic throughput model of TCP over OBS networks. Through simulations as well as analytic modeling, it is shown that the proposed dropping policy with burst retransmission can improve TCP throughput over OBS networks compared with an existing dropping policy without burst retransmission. 相似文献

This work proposes a stochastic model to characterize the transmission control protocol (TCP) over optical burst switching
(OBS) networks which helps to understand the interaction between the congestion control mechanism of TCP and the characteristic
bursty losses in the OBS network. We derive the steady-state throughput of a TCP NewReno source by modeling it as a Markov
chain and the OBS network as an open queueing network with rejection blocking. We model all the phases in the evolution of
TCP congestion window and evaluate the number of packets sent and time spent in different states of TCP. We model the mixed
assembly process, burst assembler and disassembler modules, and the core network using queueing theory and compute the burst
loss probability and end-to-end delay in the network. We derive expression for the throughput of a TCP source by solving the
models developed for the source and the network with a set of fixed-point equations. To evaluate the impact of a burst loss
on each TCP flow accurately, we define the burst as a composition of per-flow-bursts (which is a burst of packets from a single
source). Analytical and simulation results validate the model and highlight the importance of accounting for individual phases
in the evolution of TCP congestion window. 相似文献

Random burst contention losses plague the performance of Optical Burst Switched networks. Such random losses occur even in low load network condition due to the analogous behavior of wavelength and routing algorithms. Since a burst may carry many packets from many TCP sources, its loss can trick the TCP sources to conclude/infer that the underlying (optical) network is congested. Accordingly, TCP reduces sending rate and switches over to either fast retransmission or slow start state. This reaction by TCP is uncalled-for in TCP over OBS networks as the optical network may not be congested during such random burst contention losses. Hence, these losses are to be addressed in order to improve the performance of TCP over OBS networks. Existing work in the literature achieves the above laid objective at the cost of violating the semantics of OBS and/or TCP. Several other works make delay inducing assumptions. In our work, we introduce a new layer, called Adaptation Layer, in between TCP and OBS layers. This layer uses burst retransmission to mitigate the effect of burst loss due to contention on TCP by leveraging the difference between round trip times of TCP and OBS. We achieve our objective with the added advantage of maintaining the semantics of the layers intact. 相似文献

It is well-known that the bufferless nature of optical burst-switching (OBS) networks cause random burst loss even at low
traffic loads. When TCP is used over OBS, these random losses make the TCP sender decrease its congestion window even though
the network may not be congested. This results in significant TCP throughput degradation. In this paper, we propose a multi-layer
loss-recovery approach with automatic retransmission request (ARQ) and Snoop for OBS networks given that TCP is used at the
transport layer. We evaluate the performance of Snoop and ARQ at the lower layer over a hybrid IP-OBS network. Based on the
simulation results, the proposed multi-layer hybrid ARQ + Snoop approach outperforms all other approaches even at high loss probability. We developed an analytical model for end-to-end
TCP throughput and verified the model with simulation results. 相似文献

Study of TCP performance over OBS networks has been an important problem of research lately and it was found that due to the congestion control mechanism of TCP and the inherent bursty losses in the Optical Burst Switching (OBS) network, the throughput of TCP connections degrade. On the other hand, High Speed TCP (HSTCP) was proposed as an alternative to the use of TCP in high bandwidth-delay product networks. HSTCP aggressively increases the congestion window used in TCP, when the available bandwidth is high and decreases the window cautiously in response to a congestion event. In this work, we make a thorough simulation study of HSTCP over OBS networks. While the earlier works in the literature used a linear chain of nodes as the network topology for the simulation, we use the popular 14-node NSFNET topology that represents an arbitrary mesh network in our study. We also study the performance of HSTCP over OBS for different bandwidths of access networks. We use two different cases for simulations where in the first HSTCP connections are routed on disjoint paths while in the second they contend for resources in the network links. These cases of simulations along with the mesh topology help us clearly distinguish between the congestion and contention losses in the OBS network and their effect on HSTCP throughput. For completeness of study, we also simulate TCP traffic over OBS networks in all these cases and compare its throughput with that of HSTCP. We observe that irrespective of the access network bandwidth and the burst loss rate in the network, HSTCP outperforms TCP in terms of the throughput and robustness against multiple burst losses up to the expected theoretical burst loss probability of 10−3. 相似文献

Depending upon the type of feedback that is primarily used as a congestion measure, congestion control methods can be generally classified into two categories: marking/loss-based or delay-based. While both marking and queueing delay provide information about the congestion state of a network, they have been largely treated with separate control strategies. In this paper, we propose the notion of the normalized queueing delay, which serves as a congestion measure by combining both delay and marking information. Utilizing normalized queueing delay (NQD), we propose an approach to congestion control that allows a source to scale its rate dynamically to prevailing network conditions through the use of a time-variant set-point. In ns-2 simulation studies, an NQD-enabled FAST TCP demonstrates a significant link utilization improvement over FAST TCP under certain conditions. In addition, we propose another NQD-based controller D + M TCP (Delay+Marking TCP) that achieves quick convergence to fair and stable rates with nearly full link utilization. Therefore, NQD is a suitable candidate as a congestion measure for practical congestion control. 相似文献

Since its advent in 1981, TCP has been subject to a tremendous amount of research effort and enhancements for achieving better performance over various network environments and application scenarios. Due to the transmission characteristics of optical burst switched networks, such as random burst dropping, retro-blocking (i.e., bursts proceeding or delayed from their actual reservation time slot), burstification delay, and burst signaling delay, TCP could be significantly affected if no corresponding countermeasure and enhancement are developed. In this review article we provide a comprehensive survey on reported studies for TCP enhancements over OBS networks in order to mitigate the numerous side effects due to the buffer- less characteristic of burst transmission. Furthermore, we closely analyze TCP behavior over OBS networks with various burst transmission characteristics while highlighting the open challenges that have not yet been extensively tackled or solved. 相似文献

In transport control protocol (TCP) over optical burst switching (OBS) networks, TCP window size and OBS parameters, including assembly period and burst dropping probability, will impact the network performance. In this paper, a parameter window data dropping probability(WDDP), is defined to analyze the impact of the assembly and the burst loss on the network performance in terms of the round trip time and the throughput. To reduce the WDDP without introducing the extra assembly delay penalty, we propose a novel TCP window based flow-oriented assembly algorithm dynamic assembly period (DAP). In the traditional OBS assembly algorithms, the packets with the same destination and class of service (CoS) are assembled into the same burst, i.e., the packets from different sources will be assembled into one burst. In that case, one burst loss will influence multiple TCP sources. In DAP, the packets from one TCP connection are assembled into bursts, which can avoid the above situation. Through comparing the two consecutive burst lengths, DAP can track the variation of TCP window dynamically and update the assembly period for the next assembly. In addition, the ingress node architecture for the flow-oriented assembly is designed. The performance of DAP is evaluated and compared with that of fixed assembly period (FAP) over a single TCP connection and multiple TCP connections. The results show that DAP performs better than FAP at almost the whole range of burst dropping probability. 相似文献

Burst assembly is one of the key factors affecting the TCP performance in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. When the
TCP congestion window is small, the fixed-delay burst assembler waits unnecessarily long, which increases the end-to-end delay
and thus decreases the TCP goodput. On the other hand, when the TCP congestion window becomes larger, the fixed-delay burst
assembler may unnecessarily generate a large number of small-sized bursts, which increases the overhead and decreases the
correlation gain, resulting in a reduction in the TCP goodput. In this paper, we propose adaptive burst assembly algorithms
that use the congestion window sizes of TCP flows. Using simulations, we show that the usage of the congestion window size
in the burst assembly algorithm significantly improves the TCP goodput (by up to 38.4% on the average and by up to 173.89%
for individual flows) compared with the timer-based assembly, even when the timer-based assembler uses the optimum assembly
period. It is shown through simulations that even when estimated values of the congestion window size, that are obtained via
passive measurements, are used, TCP goodput improvements are still close to the results obtained by using exact values of
the congestion window. 相似文献

OBS网络中一种基于突发包优先级分割的可控重传方案 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
在光突发交换(OBS)网络中,突发包会由于竞争OBS核心节点输出端口的有限波长资源而发生冲突。突发包重传能够在一定程度上减少由于突发包在核心节点冲突而导致的数据损失,但重传次数的增加可能会加重网络负荷,反而增加数据丢失率。并且,在多业务存在的OBS网络中,重传方案需要能够实现区分服务以保证网络的服务质量(QoS)。据此,本文提出一种基于突发包优先级分割的可控重传方案,在实施优先级分割的同时,根据网络负荷赋予每次重传不同的概率,并对重传次数加以控制。最后,仿真分析了路径阻塞率和不同优先级业务的字节丢失率(ByLP,byte loss probability)性能。 相似文献

In optical burst switching (OBS) networks, burst contentions in OBS core nodes may cause data loss. To reduce data loss, retransmission scheme has been applied. However, uncontrolled retransmission may increase network load significantly and data loss probability defeating the retransmission purpose. In addition, in a priority traffic existing OBS network, OBS nodes may apply different retransmission mechanisms to priorities bursts for quality-of-service (QoS) support. This study has developed a controlled retransmission scheme for prioritized burst segmentation to support QoS in OBS networks. Unlike previous works in the literature, we have set a different value to retransmission probability at each contention and propose a retransmission analytical model for burst segmentation contention resolution scheme. In addition, we have applied the proposed retransmission scheme to the prioritized burst segmentation for QoS support. We have taken into account the load at each link due to both fresh and retransmitted traffic, and have calculated the path blocking probability and byte loss probability (ByLP) for high-priority and low-priority burst to evaluate network performance. An extensive simulation has been proposed to validate our analytical model. 相似文献

The most important design goal in Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks is to reduce burst loss resulting from resource contention.
Especially, the higher the congestion degree in the network is, the higher the burst loss rate becomes. The burst loss performance
can be improved by employing an appropriate congestion control. In this paper, to actively avoid contentions, we propose a
dynamic load-aware congestion control scheme that operates based on the highest (called ‘peak load’) of the loads of all links
over the path between each pair of ingress and egress nodes in an OBS network. We also propose an algorithm that dynamically
determines a load threshold for adjusting burst sending rate, according to the traffic load in a network. Further, a simple
signalling method is developed for our proposed congestion control scheme. The proposed scheme aims to (1) reduce the burst
loss rate in OBS networks and (2) maintain reasonable throughput and fairness. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme
reduces the burst loss rate significantly, compared to existing OBS protocols (with and without congestion control), while
maintaining reasonable throughput and fairness. Simulation results also show that our scheme keeps signalling overhead due
to congestion control at a low level. 相似文献

This paper presents TCP-DCR, a set of simple modifications to the TCP protocol to improve its robustness to channel errors in wireless networks. TCP-DCR is based on the simple idea of allowing the link-level mechanism to recover the packets lost, due to channel errors, thereby limiting the response of the transport protocol to mostly congestion losses. This is done by delaying the triggering of congestion response algorithms for a small bounded period of time /spl tau/ to allow the link-level retransmissions to recover the loss due to channel errors. If at the end of the delay /spl tau/ the packet is not recovered, then it is treated as a packet lost due to congestion. We analyze TCP-DCR to show that the delay in congestion response does not impact the fairness towards the native implementations of TCP that respond to congestion immediately after receiving three dupacks. We evaluate TCP-DCR through simulations to show that it offers significantly better performance when channel errors contribute more towards packet losses in the network with no or minimal impact on the performance when congestion is the primary cause for packet loss. We also present an analysis to show that the number of flows in the network significantly influences protocol evaluation in the wireless networks. 相似文献
