Measurements of network traffic have shown that self-similarity is a ubiquitous phenomenon spanning across diverse network environments. We have advance the framework of multiple time scale congestion control and show its effectiveness at enhancing performance for fast TCP prototype control. In this paper, we extend the fast TCP prototype control framework to window-based congestion control, in particular, TCP. This is performed by interfacing TCP with a large time scale control module which adjusts the aggressiveness of bandwidth consumption behavior exhibited by TCP as a function of "large time scale" network state. i.e., conformation that exceeds the horizon of the feedback loop as determined by RTT. Performance evaluation of fast TCP prototype is facilitated by a simulation bench-mark environment which is based on physical modeling of self-similar traffic. We explicate out methodology for discerning and evaluating the impact of changes in transport protocols in the protocol stack under self-similar traffic conditions. We discuss issues arising in comparative performance evaluation under heavy-tailed workload. workload.

Recently, due to the high development of the internet, needs for multimedia streams such as digital audio and video is increasing much more. In case of transmitting multimedia streams using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), it may cause starvation of TCP traffic on the same transmission path, thus resulting in congestion collapse and enormous delay because UDP does not perform TCP-like congestion control. Because of this problem, diverse researches are being conducted on new transmission schemes and protocols intended to efficiently reduce the transmission delay of real-time multimedia streams and perform congestion control. The TCP-friendly congestion control schemes can be classified into the window-based congestion control, which uses the general congestion window management function, and the rate-based congestion control, which dynamically adjusts transmission rate by using TCP modeling equations and the like. In this paper, we suggest the square-root congestion avoidance algorithm with the hybrid TCP-friendly congestion control scheme which the window-based and rate-based congestion controls are dealt with in a combined way. We apply the proposed algorithm to the existing TEAR. We simulate the performance of the proposed TEAR by using NS, and the result shows that it gives better improvement in the stability needed for providing congestion control than the existing TEAR.

이전의 계층화된 비디오 멀티캐스트에서는 각 계층의 크기를 그 하위 계층의 총합과 같도록 하여 TCP와 유사한 혼잡제어를 했었다. 하지만, 혼잡 시 비디오 데이터의 대역폭을 1/2로 줄이는 것은 사용자에게 인지되는 비디오 품질에 있어 큰 변화를 보이게 되므로 바람직하지 않고, 멀티캐스트를 사용함으로써 네트워크 전체에 트래픽을 줄이는 세션에게 아무런 이득도 주지 못하였다. 따라서 제안하는 방법에서는 기존 계층을 동일한 크기의 계층으로 나누고, 혼잡의 정도에 따라 계층의 감소 간격을 적절히 함으로써, 혼잡 해소 시에는 남아 있는 계층으로 데이터를 전달할 수 있게 하였다. 이러한 결과로 혼잡 시 비디오 품질이 급격히 떨어지는 것을 방지할 수 있고, 멀티캐스트를 사용하는 세션에게 이득을 줄 수 있다.

We analyzed that the loss of data in TCP protocol based wireless networks caused by overlapped responses in bi-directional nodes that were resulted in out of the data sequence. This loss can be prevented by using revised TCP rate control algorithm and the performance of throughput can also be improved. The rate control algorithm is applied when the congestion happens between nodes while traffic packets are retransmitting in TCP bandwidth. In addition to applying the rate control algorithm, we determine the number of system clients in bandwidth and the average of pausing time between transmitting serial files to produce a competitive level so that an efficient performance of rapid retransmitting for the loss of multi-packets. This paper discusses the improvement of congestion control in that the decrease of the loss, firstly, as ensuring an efficient connection rate and, secondly, as using sliding window flow control.

The optical Internet is considered as a feasible solution for transporting huge amount of traffic volume in the future Internet. Among optical switching technology for the optical Internet, OBS becomes one of the most promoting solution. Recently, a lebeled OBS(LOBS) architecture is considered for an efficient control on OBS network. Given that a data burst may contain few thousands of IP packets, a single loss of data burst results in a serious throughput degradation in LOBS network. In this paper, we improve the performance of LOBS network by introducing the burst congestion control mechanism. More specifically, the OBS router at the network core detects the network congestion by measuring the loss probability of burst control packet. The OBS router at the network edge reduces the burst generation according to the network condition repored by the OBS router at the network core. Through the simulations, it is shown that the proposed congestion control mechanism can reduce the burst loss probability and improve the LOBS network throughput.

IEEE 802.11 표준에서 지원하는 전력절감모드(Power-Saving Mode)의 실제 전력 효율성과 통신 성능의 차이를 다양한 트랙픽 환경에서 실험한다. 그리고 전력절감모드로 운영 중인 스테이션이 다른 스테이션의 통신 성능에 미치는 영향도 조사한다. 일반적으로 전력절감모드는 전력 소비면에서는 효율적이지만 통신성능을 저하시킨다. 그러나 트래픽의 종류에 따라 통신 성능의 저하에는 차이가 발생하며 별도의 혼잡제어를 하지 않는 트래픽의 경우에는 전력절감모드의 운영이 성능면에서 의미가 있음을 확인하였다.

인터넷에서의 효율적인 스트리밍 서비스(Streaming Service)를 위해서는 안정된 전송률의 보장이 중요하며, 네트워크의 대역폭이 제한적이기 때문에 네트워크를 공유하는 경쟁 트래픽의 형평성에 대한 고려도 필요하다. 이러한 필요성에 따라 멀티미디어 데이터 전송의 주요 프로토콜인 UDP(User Datagram Protocol)에 혼잡제어 메커니즘 적용에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 대표적으로 가용대역 폭 측정을 통한 혼잡제어 기법이 있다. 이 기법은 혼잡제어를 하기 위해서 네트워크의 상태에 따라 가변하는 가용대역폭(Available Bandwidth)을 측정하고 이것을 기반으로 전송률을 조절하는 방식을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 상태에 따라 혼잡제어를 하기 위해서 가용대역폭을 보다 빠르고 정확하게 측정하고, 이것을 기반으로 스트리밍 서비스에 맞게 전송률을 조절하는 방법을 제안하였다. 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 기존의 가용대역폭을 측정하는 스트리밍 프로토콜 보다 성능이 개선이 되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently the multimedia streaming traffic such as digital audio and video in the Internet has increased tremendously. Unlike TCP, the UDP protocol, which has been used to transmit streaming traffic through the Internet, does not apply any congestion control mechanism to regulate the data flow through the shared network. If this trend is let go unchecked, these traffic will effect the performance of TCP, which is used to transport data traffic, and may lead to congestion collapse of the Internet. To avoid any adverse effort on the current Internet functionality, A study on a new protocol of modification or addition of some functionality to existing transport protocol for transmitting streaming traffic in the Internet is needed. TCP-frienly congestion control mechanism is classified with window-based congestion control scheme and rate-based congestion control scheme. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for improving the transmitting rate on a hybrid TCP-friendly congestion control scheme combined with widow-based and rate-based congestion control for multimedia streaming in the internet.

In ATM networks, bandwidth allocation using available bandwidth is important to control ABR traffic efficiently. However, it is difficult to dynamically assign bandwidth on bursty traffic, because the tracking of the existing available bandwidth information uses statistical value. In this paper, we propose a output-bufferd ATM switch using Per-VC queueing scheme with timer and Controller. The controller determines whether each VC is in congestion state or not, and the timer can assign dynamically as determining the available bandwidth for the Present period by Backlogged time and total link capacity, and then transmitting the determined bandwidth to source. Instead of using statistical parameters, the proposed scheme can improve link efficiency as allocating the bandwidth of the next period, by use of measured bandwidth during the current period.
