Optimal Tuning of the TCP Retransmission TimeOut for small-BDP lossy wireless networks
نویسنده
چکیده
We study TCP performance over small-BDP lossy wireless networks. Our model is based on a feedback queue. It is tailored for the case when TCP operates with small congestion windows. The present approach allows us to analyze both standard and transmission loss aware TCP versions. Based on the system load and the average queue size of the packets waiting for transmission, we show how an optimal value of the Retransmission TimeOut (RTO) can be chosen.

Optimizing TCP Retransmission Timeout
Delay spikes on Internet paths can cause spurious TCP timeouts leading to significant throughput degradation. However, if TCP is too slow to detect that a retransmission is necessary, it can stay idle for a long time instead of transmitting. The goal is to find a Retransmission Timeout (RTO) value that balances the throughput degradation between both of these cases. In the current TCP implement...
متن کاملLT-TCP: End-to-End Framework to Improve TCP Performance over Networks with Lossy Channels
As wireless channels are becoming common, the performance of TCP over networks with such links is important. TCP performance suffers substantially when packet error rates increase beyond a value of about 1% 5%. This paper proposes an end-end mechanism to improve TCP performance over networks comprising lossy wireless link. The scheme separates the congestion indications from the wireless packet...
متن کاملTCP Westwood with Bulk Repeat for Heavy Loss Environments
Abstract — TCP Westwood (TCPW), a recently introduced sender only variant of TCP, was shown to be particularly efficient in high bandwidth, large propagation paths, with light random loss. That is, when the bandwidth delay product is high, and some of the links are exposed to wireless interference with relatively small loss rate (eg, satellite links or wireless last hops). In this paper, we foc...
متن کاملTcp Retransmissions on Very Lossy Networks
In this paper we study the behaviour of the TCP retransmission code in BSD Unix in presence of large losses, and propose changes to the code, including an adaptive computation of retransmission timeouts, to improve the performance without increasing the congestion on the network. In particular, we point out three features of the TCP retransmission code which have a negative impact on the perfor...
متن کاملOn Retransmission Schemes for Real-time Streaming in the Internet
This paper presents a trace-driven simulation study of three classes of retransmission timeout (RTO) estimators in the context of low-bitrate real-time streaming over the Internet. We explore the viability of employing retransmission timeouts in NACK-based real-time streaming applications that support multiple retransmission attempts per lost packet. In such applications, real-time RTO estimati...
