Abstract: | 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. |
