How Many Parallel TCP Sessions to Open: A Pricing Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
TCP is one of the main transmission protocols used in the Internet. It has also been recently observed that opening parallel TCP sessions might be of interest for a user in order to increase his overall average throughput. We suggest in this paper to charge users per TCP session, and we investigate the resulting game in a homogeneous context: how many sessions should each user open? Given the discrete (and even finite) space of strategies, we propose to implement a probabilistic adaptation algorithm, analyze its theoretical properties and provide numerical illustrations.

A Differentiated Pricing Framework for Improving the Performance of the Elastic Traffics in Data Networks
Rate allocation has become a demanding task in data networks as diversity in users and traffics proliferate. Most commonly used algorithm in end hosts is TCP. This is a loss based scheme therefore it exhibits oscillatory behavior which reduces network performance. Moreover, since the price for all sessions is based on the aggregate throughput, losses that are caused by TCP affect other sessions...

متن کاملThe TCP Split Handshake: Practical Effects on Modern Network Equipment
Many network engineers might presume that the TCP three way handshake is the one, inviolate method of establishing TCP connections. A smaller percentage of engineers are also familiar with the little-used "simultaneous-open" connection method of establishing TCP connections. Researchers have discovered a third means to initiate TCP sessions, dubbed the "split-handshake" method, which blends fea...

Due to the proliferation of the diversity in user behaviors and traffic demands, traffic engineering mechanisms have become an inevitable task in data networks. Nowadays, most commonly used algorithm in end hosts is the popular TCP and its variants (such as MulTCP). These are loss based schemes therefore exhibit oscillatory behavior which reduces network performance. Moreover, since the price f...
متن کاملProcess algebraic modeling of authentication protocols for analysis of parallel multi-session executions
Many security protocols have the aim of authenticating one agent acting as initiator to another agent acting as responder and vice versa. Sometimes, the authentication fails because of executing several parallel sessions of a protocol, and because an agent may play both the initiator and responder role in parallel sessions. We take advantage of the notion of transition systems to specify authen...
