A study of deploying smooth‐ and responsive‐TCPs with different queue management schemes

While there exist extensive research works on congestion control and active queue management, or the joint dynamics of a congestion control strategy with the random early detection (RED) algorithm, little has been done on the interactions between different window adjustment strategies and different queue management schemes such as DropTail and RED. In this paper, we consider a spectrum of TCP‐friendly additive increase and multiplicative decrease (AIMD) parameters. At the one end of this spectrum, smooth‐TCP enhances smoothness for multimedia applications by reducing the window decrease ratio upon congestion, at the cost of the additive increase speed and the responsiveness to available bandwidth. At the other end, responsive‐TCP enhances the responsiveness by increasing the additive increase speed, at the cost of smoothness. We investigate the network dynamics with various combinations of AIMD parameters and queue management schemes, under different metrics. The investigation is conducted from the deployment (especially incremental deployment) point of view. We discussed the impact of the interactions on the goodput, fairness, end‐to‐end delay, and its implications to energy consumption on mobile hosts. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Improving fairness of PGMCC

PGM congestion control (pgmcc), a single‐rate multicast congestion control scheme, is one of the most promising schemes which aim to solve the problem of multicast fairness with TCP. However, by deep investigation, we find that there exist two inappropriate mechanisms in this scheme, which are the fixed slow start threshold (ssthresh) and the mechanism of changing a group representative (acker). Our experiments have revealed the fact that these mechanisms can lead to the unfairness of pgmcc under some network conditions. In this paper, two new mechanisms have been proposed to replace the original ones. One mechanism is to make the sender adapt the value of ssthresh to the network conditions to mimic the action of TCP, and in order to avoid being more aggressive than TCP, the other one is to make the sender reduce the congestion window by half when the acker changes. Our experiment results, parts of which are discussed in this paper, show that the modified pgmcc can achieve better performance than the original one. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Dynamic Adaptive Layered Multicast Congestion Control Mechanism

To solve the problem that most of existing layered multicast protocols cannot adapt todynamic network conditions because their layers are coarsely granulated and static,a new congestioncontrol mechanism for dynamic adaptive layered multicast(DALM) is presented.In this mechanism,anovel feedback aggregating algorithm is put forward,which can dynamically determine the number oflayers and the rate of each layer,and can efficiently improve network bandwidth utilization ratio.Additionally,because all layers is transmitted in only one group,the intricate and time-consuminginternet group management protocol(IGMP) operations,caused by receiver joining a new layer orleaving the topmost subscribed layer,are thoroughly eliminated.And this mechanism also avoids otherproblems resulted from multiple groups.Simulation results show that DALM is adaptive and TCPfriendly.     

一种拥塞感知的TFRC协议慢启动算法

 本文分析了TFRC(TCP-Friendly Rate Control)协议在慢启动阶段采用类似TCP协议的倍增发送速率机制存在的问题,提出了一种利用回路响应时间(Round Trip Time,RTT)来自适应调节慢启动阶段速率的算法.通过分析实际RTT值和EWMA(Exponentially Weighted Moving Average)处理后的平均RTT值来感知网络当前的拥塞状况,以调节发送速率的激进程度.仿真实验表明,该方法对TFRC协议具有明显的改进作用,减少了慢启动阶段结束时的报文丢失率,提高了协议的传输平稳度和吞吐量,从而能更有效地适应多媒体流的传输要求.

EVA: a better TCP version for resource‐insufficient networks

TCP Vegas exhibits unfair congestion avoidance mechanism, which aggravates when there are insufficient network resources to accommodate buffer space of a pipe (bandwidth delay product). To remedy this shortcoming, we propose an Enhanced VegAs (EVA) that employs three auxiliary mechanisms: Δ revision, congestion detection and congestion tendency detection. A 2^k factorial design with replications is used to study the effect of the three mechanisms. Our results show that TCP EVA achieves better performance than Vegas under various network conditions. Furthermore, congestion avoidance schemes, such as TCP EVA, perform much better than congestion control schemes, such as TCP Reno, in resource‐insufficient networks.

Multipath congestion control algorithm based on link capacity

Factors such as link differences and TCP friendliness constraints lead to the problem of unfair bandwidth allocation when the TCP congestion control mechanism was applied directly to multi-path transmission.To address the problem,it was proposed that a multipath congestion control algorithm was based on link capacity.The proposed algorithm which was based on the concept of feedback regulation achieved multipath joint congestion control by establishing the M/M/1 cache queue model to adjust the throughput rate of senders.Experimental results show the proposed algorithm can improve the multipath transmission bandwidth utilization and the multipath congestion control algorithm responsiveness,and ensure the fairness of multipath transmission.     

Proxy‐RED: an AQM scheme for wireless local area networks

Wireless access points (APs) act as bridges between wired and wireless networks. Since the actually available bandwidth in wireless networks is much smaller than the bandwidth in wired networks, there is a disparity in channel capacity which makes the access point a significant network congestion point in the downstream direction. A current architectural trend in wireless local area networks (WLAN) is to move functionality from APs to a centralized gateway in order to reduce cost and improve features. In this paper, we study the use of RED, a well known active queue management (AQM) scheme, and explicit congestion notification (ECN) to handle bandwidth disparity between the wired and the wireless interface of an access point. Then, we propose the Proxy‐RED scheme, as a solution for reducing the AQM overhead from the access point. Simulations‐based performance analysis indicates that the proposed Proxy‐RED scheme improves the overall performance of a network. In particular, the Proxy‐RED scheme significantly reduces packet loss rate and improves goodput for a small buffer, and minimizes delay for a large buffer size.

An Internet friendly transport protocol for continuous media over best effort networks

In this paper, we design and evaluate an Internet friendly transport‐level protocol (IFTP) for solving the TCP‐friendly problem. IFTP has two modes of operation. In the standard mode, the IFTP connection faithfully emulates the behaviour of TCP in order to roughly obtain a bandwidth equal to that of a TCP connection. In the extended mode, a simple modification is used to grant QoS‐differentiated services to selected connections. Connections running in the extended mode can get enhanced bandwidth while still emulating the general behaviour of TCP. We develop an analytical model for the congestion control mechanism of IFTP. We also derive analytically the amount of bandwidth that IFTP may be able to claim from TCP in ideal and non‐ideal environments. We evaluate IFTP through simulation and prove its TCP friendliness as well as provide performance results on some of the important metrics such as packet delay, delay jitter, packet loss and link utilization.

Congestion control with dynamic threshold adaptation and cross‐layer response for TCP Vegas over IEEE 802.11 wireless networks

Wireless technologies provide mobile access and enable rapid andcost‐effective network deployment. But a wireless link is generally accompanied by high interference, transmission errors and a varying latency. The erratic packet losses usually lead to a curbing of the flow of segments on the TCP connection, and thus limit TCP performance. This paper presents a threshold control mechanism with cross‐layer response approach for improving TCP Vegas performance in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. By making slight modifications to the legacy IEEE 802.11 MAC and TCP, the numerical results reveal that the proposed scheme provides a significant improvement in TCP performance under IEEE 802.11 wireless environments.
