Explicit Rate Control for Anypoint Communication
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates explicit multiflow rate control for common forms of ensemble communication. We address rate control in the context of the Anypoint, a communication model that combines strong transport-layer guarantees with the flexibility of Anycast-style indirection. For example, Anypoint supports cluster-based services where extensible routers at the network edge route inbound requests according to pluggable service-specific redirection policies. Anypoint also supports multipoint-to-point communication in the reverse or outbound direction. Our approach extends recent work on an Explicit Control Protocol (XCP) and demonstrates compelling benefits for multiflow rate control. For example, it allows us to unify flow and congestion control for multipoint traffic. The explicit rate control approach defines a set of XCP header transformations to split and merge XCP traffic flows in an Anypoint edge router. We describe a prototype XCP-enabled transport protocol and Anypoint-XCP switch implementing the split/merge transformations. Experimental results evaluate our approach in a prototype Anypoint cluster in the ModelNet emulation environment, extended with support for emulated XCP routers. The results show how Anypoint-XCP flows compete fairly with conventional XCP flows and meet a range of multiflow rate control objectives in a flexible and efficient way.

متن کاملExplicit and Precise Rate Control in Wireless Sensor Networks
Explicit and precise rate control, which provides feedback to sources on exactly how much to increment or decrement their rates, has been developed recently for the wired Internet and shown to provide substantial performance improvements. However, it is difficult to translate such a protocol directly to a wireless setting where link capacity is affected by interference. We show that a fruitful ...
متن کاملRouter - Assisted Congestion Control
Enabling communication between routers and end-points has long been sought after as an approach to congestion control in the Internet. However, the narrow-waist of TCP/IP has complicated the deployment of such protocols. We present Kick-Ass a mechanism that enables explicit rate congestion control protocols to be deployed within the TCP/IP stack. The key idea is to utilize packet lengths as a v...
