Intraprotocol fairness and interprotocol friendliness of TFRC congestion control algorithm - Electronics Letters

چکیده
The TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) algorithm has been proposed for supporting applications such as video streaming or telephony over the Internet, where a relative smooth sending rate is of importance. The fairness and friendliness of TFRC over scenarios with multiple congested routers is evaluated. Results obtained using the ns-2 simulator show that while TFRC improves network utilisation with respect to Reno TCP, it exhibits a significant degree of unfairness and unfriendliness towards Reno TCP.

Explicit Rate Adjustment (ERA): Responsiveness, Network Utilization Efficiency and Fairness for Layered Multicast
To provide layered multicast with responsiveness, efficiency in network utilization, scalability and fairness (including interprotocol fairness, intra-protocol fairness, intra-session fairness and TCP-friendliness) for layered multicast, we propose in this paper a new multicast congestion control, called Explicit Rate Adjustment (ERA). Our protocol uses an algorithm relying on TCP throughput eq...

This paper presents a Mediaand TCP-Friendly Rate-based Congestion Control algorithm (MTFRCC) for scalable video streaming in the Internet. The algorithm integrates two new techniques: (i) the use of a utility-based model for the target system combined with the rate-distortion function as the application utility measure for optimizing the overall video quality; and (ii) a two-timescale approach ...
متن کاملEquilibrium and Fairness of Networks Shared by TCP Reno and Vegas/FAST
It has been proved theoretically that a network with heterogeneous congestion control algorithms that react to different congestion signals can have multiple equilibrium points. In this paper, we demonstrate this experimentally using TCP Reno and Vegas/FAST. We also show that any desired inter-protocol fairness is in principle achievable by an appropriate choice of Vegas/FAST parameter, and tha...

Wireless ad-hoc networks, composed by PDA-like mobile equipments, are the technologies used in pervasive ambient networks. These environments opens applicative perspectives allowing the cooperation of hierarchical user groups which are mobile in the context of emergency operations (EO). In this paper, we introduce a novel “collaborative” congestion control mechanism at the transport level allow...
متن کاملRate Control over Wired/Wireless Networks
TFRC is a TCP-Friendly Rate Control protocol based on TCP Reno's throughput equation. It is designed to provide optimal service for unicast multimedia flow operating in the wired Internet environment. However, in wireless networks, TFRC, same as TCP Reno, suffers significant performance degradation. In this paper, we propose to make use of a more advanced equation to enhance TFRC over wireless ...
