Tcp with Ecn: the Case of Two Simultaneous Downloads
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the effect of Explicit Congestion Notification on TCP performance for two simultaneous large file transfers. We compare this performance with that achieved using other congestion avoidance mechanisms, namely Drop Tail and RED. Our results show that TCP performance improves, in certain cases significantly, with ECN both for individual flows and the network as a whole.

On the Resource Efficiency of Explicit Congestion Notification
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) for IP networks has received considerable attention in recent years, and has been shown to improve TCP goodput. Previous studies have centered on scenarios in which TCP with ECN (TCP/ECN) traffic competes with ECN-unaware traffic. This paper presents case studies in which moderately short flows are all ECN-capable, and compare them with the corresponding c...
متن کاملA New Fair Window Algorithm for ECN-Capable TCP (New-ECN)
In this paper we propose a modification of the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) [1] to correct the bias against connections with long round trip times (RTT) of TCP. The New-ECN algorithm achieves a fair sharing of the available bandwidth of a bottleneck gateway. The idea is to prevent a fast connection from opening its congestion window too quickly and to enable a slow connection to open ...
متن کاملOn TCP reaction to Explicit Congestion Notification
We investigate the behavior of a new response strategy to TCP Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). The new strategy is more aggressive in the short term, but preserves TCP long term behavior– without modifying the router ECN marking rate. A more aggressive short term behavior gives incentives for hosts to become ECN-compliant. ECN serves as an early warning sign in this case. Our analysis de...
متن کاملINTERNET - DRAFT ECN and SYN / ACK Packets November 2008
This draft specifies a modification to RFC 3168 to allow TCP SYN/ACK packets to be ECN-Capable. For TCP, RFC 3168 only specifies setting an ECN-Capable codepoint on data packets, and not on SYN and SYN/ACK packets. However, because of the high cost to the TCP transfer of having a SYN/ACK packet dropped, with the resulting retransmit timeout, this document specifies the use of ECN for the SYN/AC...
متن کاملTCP increase/decrease behavior with explicit congestion notification (ECN)
We investigate the effect of TCP Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) with a new response strategy that is more aggressive in the short term, but preserves TCP long term behavior, without modifying the router marking rate. A less aggressive ECN decrease gives more incentives for end systems to become ECN-compliant, as ECN serves as an early warning sign in this case. Our analysis and simulati...
