Delivering Faster Congestion Feedback with the Mark-Front Strategy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer networks use congestion feedback from the routers and destinations to control the transmission load. Delivering timely congestion feedback is essential to the performance of networks. Reaction to the congestion can be more effective if faster feedback is provided. Current TCP/IP networks use timeout, duplicate ACKs and explicit congestion notification (ECN) to deliver the congestion feedback, each provides a faster feedback than the previous method. In this paper, we propose a markfront strategy that delivers an even faster congestion feedback. With analytical and simulation results, we show that mark-front strategy reduces buffer size requirement, improves link efficiency and provides better fairness among users.

Improving explicit congestion notification with the mark-front strategy
Delivering congestion signals is essential to the performance of networks. Current TCP/IP networks use packet losses to signal congestion. Packet losses not only reduces TCP performance, but also adds large delay. Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) delivers a faster indication of congestion and has better performance. However, current ECN implementations mark the packet from the tail of the...
متن کاملTCP Westwood: congestion control with faster recovery
In this paper we propose a new version of the TCP protocol, called TCP Westwood, which enhances the performance of TCP window congestion control by using as feedback the end-to-end measurement of the bandwidth available along a TCP connection. The available bandwidth is estimated at the TCP source by measuring and low-pass filtering the returning rate of acknowledgments. The estimated bandwidth...
متن کاملUsing Precise Feedback for Controlling Congestion in the Internet
This paper explores the potential of improving Internet congestion control by providing precise congestion feedback to the sources instead of the implicit and binary feedback used by TCP. We propose a window-based protocol in which each sender maintains its congestion window and round trip time and communicates this information to the routers in a congestion header attached to every packet. The...
