Analysis of TCP Flags in Congested Network

چکیده
This paper proposes a new simple method for network measurement. It extracts 6-bit control flags of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) packets. The idea is based on the unique feature of flag ratios which is discovered by our exhaustive search for the new indexes of network traffic. By the use of flag ratios, one can tell if the network is really congested. It is much simpler than the conventional network monitoring by a network analyzer. The well-known monitoring method is based on the utilization parameter of a communication circuit which ranges from 0% to 100%. One cannot tell the line is congested even if the factor is 100%. 100% means full utilization and does not give any further information. To calculate the real performance of the network, one should estimate the throughput or effective speed of each user. The estimation needs much calculation. Our new method tries to correlate ratios of TCP control flags and network congestion. The result shows the usefulness of this new method. This paper analyzes the reason why the flag ratios show the unique feature. key words: Internet, traffic measurement, TCP/IP, control flags

Dynamic Analysis of Congested TCP Networks
The objective of this paper is to study the small-signal stability of congested TCP networks. The starting point for this analysis is a fluid model describing the interaction of TCP-controlled traffic with congested routers. Assuming integral action in the active queue management scheme, we compute the network’s equilibrium point about which we determine the network’s small-signal dynamics. Spe...

متن کاملDetecting Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks through Inductive Learning
As the complexity of Internet is scaled up, it is likely for the Internet resources to be exposed to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) flooding attacks on TCP-based Web servers. There has been a lot of related work which focuses on analyzing the pattern of the DDoS attacks to protect users from them. However, none of these studies takes all the flags within TCP header into account, nor do th...
متن کاملCtcp: a Cross-layer Information Based Tcp for Manet
Traditional TCP cannot detect link contention losses and route failure losses which occur in MANET and considers every packet loss as congestion. This results in severe degradation of TCP performance. In this research work, we modified the operations of TCP to adapt to network states. The cross-layer notifications are used for adapting the congestion window and achieving better performance. We ...
متن کاملInferring User-perceived Performance of Network by monitoring TCP Interruptions
The fluctuating performance of wireless and mobile networks has triggered the need for smart algorithms to assess the user perception, resulting from the quality of network services. While efforts have been done to model the user experience resulting from the network performance, there is still the need for practical methods to assess the user-perceived performance, in the real environment. In ...
