초록

차등 서비스 네트워크(Diffserv network)의 확신 서비스(Assured Service)에 대한 기존 연구는 TCP 플로우의 RTT(Round Trip Time) 및 계약한 목표 전송률(CTR: Committed Target Rate)에 따른 전송률 분배의 공평성에 대한 고려가 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 기존 연구에서의 문제점들을 개선한 TRA3CM(Target rate and RTT Aware 3 Color Marker) 메커니즘을 제안한다. TRA3CM에서는 평균 전송률을 예측하기 위한 시간 창 길이로 RTT를 이용하며, 3색 마킹을 제공하고, RTT와 목표 전송률을 동시 고려하여 집합 플로우들 사이에 공평하게 전송률을 분배할 수 있다. 또한 under-provisioned 네트워크에서도 RTT의 영향을 완화시켜 집합 플로우들 사이에 공평성을 보장하고 있다. 기존 방식들과 비교한 결과 제안한 TRA3CM은 RTT의 영향을 완화시키는 데 있어 좋은 성능을 보이며, 목표 전송률에 비례하는 전송률 제공에서도 우수한 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

Previous works for the assured service in the Diffserv network have no sufficient consideration on the fairness of bandwidth share based on RTTs and the target rates of TCP flows. In this paper, in order to solve these problems, we propose a TRA3CM(Target rate and RTT Aware 3 Color Marking) mechanism. The TRA3CM mechanism provides three color marking and fair transmission rates among aggregate flows by considering RTT and target rate simultaneously. In case of higher target rate than bottleneck bandwidth, the TRA3CM mechanism is able to mitigate the RTT effect and provides fair transmission rates. In the results of comparing the performance among existing mechanisms and the TRA3CM, the TRA3CM mechanism was able to mitigate the RTT effect better than the former. The TRA3CM is shown to provide good performance for transmission rates proportional to various target rates.
