A Burstiness Control for TCP
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a two-layer model for TCP traffic with burstiness effect. We show that the backlog in bottleneck queue is bounded by the sum of two components: the long term effect of congestion window control algorithm and the short term effect of burstiness. This motivates a formal definition of burstiness. A simple algorithm is proposed to measure and control burstiness at the sender’s side. We present experimental results to illustrate the effectiveness of burstiness control.

The Adverse Impact of the TCP Congestion-Control Mechanism in Heterogeneous Computing Systems
Via experimental study, we illustrate how TCP modulates application traffic in such a way as to adversely affect network performance in a heterogeneous computing system. Even when aggregate application traffic smooths out as more applications’ traffic are multiplexed, TCP induces burstiness into the aggregate traffic load, and thus hurts network performance. This burstiness is particularly bad ...
متن کاملTransmission Timer Approach for Rate Based Pacing TCP with Hardware Support
Transmission timer framework is proposed for rate based pacing (RBP) TCP, in order to mitigate a burstiness in TCP slow-start. In this approach, host software specifies the time for each packet that should be sent out, and gives a precise interframe gap for the data stream. An RBP TCP implementation including a transmission timer aware network interface card is demonstrated. Also, a quantitativ...
متن کاملCapturing TCP Burstiness in Light-weight Simulations
Burstiness in data traffic is emerging as a critical property that protocol analysis can no longer ignore. To preserve the kind of burstiness or scaling phenomena observed in aggregated TCP traffic, we develop a behavioral model that captures TCP’s windowbased and closed-loop control. Through a novel modeling technique – exhaustive state exploration, we systematically examine each TCP states ov...
متن کاملOn the Burstiness of the TCP Congestion-Control Mechanism in a Distributed Computing System
Several studies in network traffic characterization have concluded that network traffic is self-similar and therefore not readily amenable to statistical multiplexing in a distributed computing system. This paper examines the effects of the TCP protocol stack on network traffic via an experimental study on the different implementations of TCP. We show that even when aggregate application traffi...
متن کاملImpact of bursty losses on TCP performance
In this paper we analyze the performance of a TCP-like ow control mechanism in a lossy environment. The transmission rate in the control scheme that we consider has a linear growth rate; whenever a loss occurs, the transmission rate is halved. This approximates the performance of several versions of TCP that divide their congestion window by two when a loss is detected. We propose a mathematica...
