Achieving high throughput and TCP Reno fairness in delay-based TCP over large networks

The transport control protocol （TCP） has been widely used in wired and wireless Intemet applications such as FTP, email and HTTP. Numerous congestion avoidance algorithms have been proposed to improve the performance of TCP in various scenarios, especially for high speed and wireless networks. Although different algorithms may achieve different performance improvements under different network conditions, designing a congestion algorithm that can perform well across a wide spectrum of network conditions remains a great challenge. Delay-based TCP has a potential to overcome above challenges. However, the unfairness problem of delay-based TCP with TCP Reno blocks widely the deployment of delay-based TCP over wide area networks. In this paper, we proposed a novel delay-based congestion control algorithm, named FAST-FIT, which could perform gracefully in both ultra high speed networks and wide area networks, as well as keep graceful faimess with widely deployed TCP Reno hosts. FAST-FIT uses queuing delay as a primary input for controlling TCP congestion window. Packet loss is used as a secondary signal to adaptively adjust parameters of primary control process. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the performance of the algorithm is significantly improved as compared to other state-of-the-art algorithms, while maintaining good faimess.

一种提高TCP与UDP数据流公平性的拥塞控制机制

在UDP业务流逐步占据大部分网络带宽的情况下,如何在网络层对UDP包进行拥塞控制显得尤为重要。在网络拥塞时,由于UDP包本身缺乏反馈机制,将会产生严重的丢包或者UDP抢占TCP带宽的现象。文中提出了基于网络层的发送端缓冲队列管理的拥塞控制机制,可以均衡TCP和UDP的带宽使用,同时通过对路由器ICMP网络拥塞报文的处理,建立了高效的流量调节策略,并进行了网络仿真实验。实验结果表明,基于该机制的拥塞控制可以有效改善网络不同业务流带宽使用的不公平性。     

Improving TCP fairness and performance with bulk transmission control over lossy wireless channel

The traditional windows-based TCP congestion control mechanism produces throughput bias against flows with longer packet roundtrip times; the flow with a short packet roundtrip time preoccupies the shared network bandwidth to a greater extent than others. Moreover, the blind window reduction that occurs whenever packets are lost decreases the network utilization severely, especially in networks with high packet losses. This paper proposes a sender-based TCP congestion control, called TCP-BT. The scheme estimates the network bandwidth depending on the transmission behavior of applications, and adjusts the congestion window by considering both the estimated network bandwidth and the packet roundtrip time to improve fairness as well as transmission performance. The scheme has been implemented in the Linux platform and compared with various TCP variants in real environments. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme improves transmission performance, especially in networks with congestion and/or high packet loss rates. Experiments in real commercial wireless networks have also been conducted to support the practical use of the proposed mechanism.

TCP Congestion Control Approach for Improving Network Services

With the continuous increasing demand of Internet applications, networks are experiencing a serious congestion problem.
