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

Congestion control in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is crucial. In this article, we discuss congestion control and the adaptive load-aware problem for sensor nodes in WSNs. When the traffic load of a specific node exceeds its the available capacity of the node, a congestion problem occurs because of buffer memory overflow. Congestion may cause serious problems such as packet loss, the consumption of power, and low network throughput for sensor nodes. To address these problems, we propose a distributed congestion control protocol called adaptive load-aware congestion control protocol (ALACCP). The protocol can adaptively allocate the appropriate forwarding rate for jammed sensor nodes to mitigate the congestion load. Through the buffer management mechanism, the congestion index of neighboring sensor nodes, and an adjustment of the adaptive forwarding rate, the degree of congestion is alleviated markedly. The performance in allocating the forwarding rate effectively to neighboring sensor nodes also improves. The ALACCP can avoid packet loss because of traffic congestion, reduce the power consumption of nodes, and improve the network throughput. Simulation results revealed that the proposed ALACCP can effectively improve network performance and maintain the fairness of networks. 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

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

Hop-count fairness-aware protocols for improved bandwidth utilization in WDM burst-switched networks
In this paper, we propose and evaluate two schemes for improving bandwidth utilization in optical burst-switched (OBS) networks employing timer-based burst assembly routines. The first scheme adjusts the size of the search space for a free wavelength in optical switches using a balancing formula that promotes throughput and hop-count fairness. The formula achieves controllable increase in the size of the search space either when the size of the burst increases or when the hop count of the traveling burst increases. The second scheme proactively discards bursts at the source network access station using a dropping probability matrix that satisfies certain horizontal and vertical constraints. The matrix assigns smaller dropping probabilities to bursts with larger sizes and longer lightpaths. The results of extensive performance tests to evaluate the two schemes and compare them with previous schemes for improving fairness and throughput are presented and discussed. The results show that the two schemes improve the throughput of optical OBS networks and enhance the hop-count fairness. 相似文献

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising technology for next-generation optical networks. Slotted OBS is an improved version of OBS to reduce burst loss rate, in which wavelength channels are divided into time slots. Slotted OBS has an implicit and under-used property that resources for two bursts with the same source and the same destination are interchangeable. The property further means that resource for a long-distance burst can be partially used by a short-distance burst. In this paper, we utilize the property to design a resource reservation scheme for slotted OBS networks. The scheme reserves a batch of slots every time; the specific number of slots is calculated according to number of arrived bursts and partial success rate (a newly introduced conception in this paper) at each node. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can get lower burst loss rate, comparing with the well-performing two-way signaling scheme. 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

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

Optical burst switching (OBS) is regarded as one of the most promising switching technologies for next generation optical
networks. However, the data burst contention problem is still unresolved thoroughly even though slotted OBS (SOBS) is studied
as a new paradigm reducing the blocking rate. In this article, we propose a tree-based slot allocation (TSA) algorithm for
loss-free SOBS networks, where the TSA algorithm originally avoids contention of the time-slots by reserving the time-slots
with different time-slot positions for the source nodes, respectively. In order to manage the time-slots efficiently, we also
propose an OBS superframe, which is a cyclic period and consists of multiple time-slots transmitted by the source nodes toward
the same incoming port of a destination node. In addition, we attempt to optimize multiplexing of the OBS superframes to reduce
wavelength consumption. On the other hand, when incoming traffic is beyond expectation, a source node may need more time-slots
to prevent packet loss because of buffer overflow. For reallocation of the time-slots, we propose a flow control scheme managing
some number of shared time-slots, where a control node adaptively allocates (or redeems) the time-slots to (or from) source
nodes by utilizing the shared time-slots based on fluctuating traffic condition. Simulation results show that the blocking
rate of the proposed TSA–OBS scheme is zero with acceptable queueing delay at moderate traffic offered loads. In addition,
multiplexing optimization simulated in the 14-node NSFNET achieves a 63% reduction of wavelength consumption. Moreover, the
proposed flow control scheme assisting the TSA algorithm maintains a target upper-bound of queueing delay at the source node,
so that packet loss caused by buffer overflow is prevented. 相似文献

One promising switching technology for wavelength-division multiplexing optical networks is optical burst switching (OBS). However, there are major deficiencies of OBS. (1) The delay offset between a control message and its corresponding data burst is based on the diameter of a network. This affects network efficiency, quality-of-service, and network scalability.( 2) OBS adopts one-way resource reservation scheme, which causes frequent burst collision and, thus, burst loss. We address the above two important issues in OBS. In particular, we study how to improve the performance of delay and loss in OBS. To reduce the end-to-end delay, we propose a hybrid switching scheme. The hybrid switching is a combination of lightpath switching and OBS switching. A virtual topology design algorithm based on simulated annealing to minimize the longest shortest path through the virtual topology is presented. To minimize burst collision and loss, we propose a new routing algorithm, namely, p-routing, for OBS network. The p-routing is based on the wavelength available probability. A path that has higher available probability is less likely to drop bursts due to collision. The probability-based p-routing can reduce the volatility, randomness, and uncertainty of one-way resource reservation. Our studies show that hybrid switching and p-routing are complementary and both can dramatically improve the performance of OBS networks. 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

Optical burst switching (OBS) is a promising technique for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. In practice, wavelength converters (WCs) are either absent or only sparsely deployed in WDM networks due to economic and technical limitations. Thus, wavelength assignment is expected to be an important component of OBS networks. In this paper, an offline wavelength assignment scheme in OBS networks without wavelength conversion capability is proposed. The key idea of the scheme is to decide the wavelength searching order of each traffic connection at edge nodes according to the wavelength priorities determined by the calculated burst loss probabilities on different wavelengths. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can reduce the network-wide burst loss probability significantly compared with other schemes. It is also illustrated that the performance of the proposed scheme can be further enhanced by a larger number of wavelengths per link and a reasonable delay bound at edge nodes. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a novel rate adaptive optimization scheme for streaming media transmission over wireless heterogeneous IP networks. In the proposed adaptive scheme, through the analysis of the packet loss characteristics in wireless channel, we develop the relationship between the packet loss rates and the packet sizes. Furthermore, the scheme detects the nature of packet losses by sending large and small packets alternately, and then adopts an adaptive rate optimization strategy to decrease the network congestion and increase the network throughput. Using congestion discrimination and updating factor, the scheme can adapt to the changes of network states quickly and improve delivery quality of wireless multimedia streaming. Simulation results show that, in comparisons to the existing rate optimization algorithms, our proposed scheme offers significantly improved performance in terms of throughput and network congestion, especially when the channel quality is poor in different network topology environments. 相似文献
