TCP Vegas version provides better performance and more stable services than TCP Tahoe and Reno versions, which are widely used in the current Internet. However, in the situation where TCP Vegas and Reno share the bottleneck link, the performance of TCP Vegas is much smaller than that of TCP Reno. This unfairness is due to the difference of congestion control mechanisms of each TCP use. Several studies have been executed in order to solve this unfairness problem. In this paper, we analyze the minimum window size to maintain the maximum TCP performance of link bandwidth. In addition, we propose an algorithm which maintains the TCP performance and improves fairness by selective packet drops in order to allocate proper window size of each TCP connections. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we have measured the number of data bytes transmitted between end-to-end systems by each TCP connections. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm maintains the maximum TCP performance and improves the fairness.

Satellite communication is a wide area network (WAN) which provides communication service worldwide. However, the performance of TCP can be seriously degraded in the satellite networks due to limited bandwidth, long round-trip time (RTT) and high bit error rate (BER) over satellite links. In order to improve the performance of TCP, this paper proposes cross-layer Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) in digital video broadcasting-return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS) networks. The proposed protocol sets TCP Congestion Window (CWND) size by using satellite resource allocation information exchanged between TCP and the link-layer. we implement PEP testbed based on Linux to evaluate the performance of the proposed protocol. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol performs better than standard TCP both in single and multiple sessions in variant BER, because the proposed protocol sets TCP CWND size by using satellite resource allocation.

회선교환에서는 사용자 사이의 전송로가 통화가 지속되는 동안 계속 점유되는 것과는 달리 패킷교환에서는 망내의 자원을 여러 사용자들이 공유함으로서 자원을 효율적으로 사용하게 되는데 적절한 제어가 이루어지지 않으면 망내에 congestion이 발생하여 오히려 성능이 감소하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 흐름제어 기법들인 ack-at-end-of-window기법과 pacing window flow control기법을 토대로 새로운 흐름제어기법을 제안한다. 새로운 흐름제어기법의 성능을 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 TDX-10 패킷처리기에 적용하여 분석한 결과 기존의 방법보다는 새로운 흐름제어기법의 성능이 다소 좋음을 보여준다.

In wireless networks, the packet loss due to the bit error is misinterpreted as loss due to the congestion state, so TCP congestion control occurs frequently and performance degradation occurs. This degradation also occurs in MPTCP(Multipath TCP), which is an extension protocol of original TCP. In MPTCP, the overall performance of the multipath is degraded. In this paper, we propose a congestion control scheme which measures the bandwidth on each path of MPTCP and reduces the congestion window size by the measured bandwidth when packet loss occurs, in order to solve the MPTCP performance degradation in the wireless environment. We also implemented the proposed congestion control in the Linux kernel and compared it with the original MPTCP in the testbed and real wireless networks. Experimental results show that the proposed congestion control has better throughput performance than original MPTCP congestion control in the wireless environment.

Nowadays, after appearance of wireless network the existent internet environment is changing into the united wire/wireless network. But the present TCP regards all of the packet losses on transmission as the packet tosses due to the congestion. When it is applied on the wireless path, it deteriorates the end-to-end TCP throughput because it regards the packet loss by handoff or bit error as the packet loss by the congestion and it reduces the congestion window. In this paper, for solving these problems we propose the method that controls the performance of TCP on the wireless link by extending ECN which is used as a congestion control mechanism on the existent wire link. This is the method that distinguished the packet loss due to the congestion from due to bit error or handoff on the wireless network, so it calls the congestion control mechanism only when there occurs the congestion in the united wire/wireless network.

Recently the use of wireless network increases according to it solves the hand-off and with path loss, pading, noise etc of wireless network the research for transmission error improvement is developed. TCP and SCTP of standard where it guarantees the reliability of wire network apply in wireless network the congestion control, flow control mechanism used it decreases the efficiency of data transfer throughputs. In this paper, It mixes SCTP and SNOOP for SCTP apply on wireless network, to improve BS(Basic Station) operation processes when the transmission error occurs in wireless network. BS send ZWP(Zero Window Probe) to MN(Mobile Node) when the transmission error occurs so, check path and status and update RWND and error status checked. It selects the new path, send ZWA(Zero Window Advertisement) to FH(Fixed Host) and the prevents call to congestion control or flow control and it does to make wait status standing. Continuously of data transfer after the connection of wireless network is stabilized, it make increase about 10% the transmission throughput of data.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve TCP performance over wireless links. TCP is known to have poor performance over wireless links because TCP has no mechanism to differentiate congestion loss from wireless loss, and treats all losses as congestive. We present a simple method to determine the cause of packet loss using the successive ECN. In addition, we present an algorithm to control the congestion window size based on the estimated queue state in order to guarantee the fairness and high link utilization.

In network routers, buffers are used to resolve congestion and reduce packet loss rate whenever congestion occurs at bottleneck link. Most of the existing methods to manage such buffers focus only on queue-length-based control as one loop which have some issues of low link utilization and system stability. In this paper, we propose a novel framework which exploits two-loop control method, e.g. queue-length and congestion window size, combined with optimal margin method to facilitate parameter choices. Simulation results in ns-2 demonstrate that bottleneck link performance can be improved with higher link utilization (85%) and shorter queue length (22%) than the current deployed scheme in commercial routers (RED and DropTail).

TCP에서 사용되는 혼잡제어(Congestion control)는 많은 이점이 있지만 그에 상응하는 단점이 존재한다. 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 TCP-Reno는 혼잡이 발생되면 혼잡 윈도우(Congestion Window)크기를 절반으로 줄이고 빠른 회복(fast recovery), 빠른 재전송(fast transmit)을 수행한다. 하지만 네트워크가 고속 네트워크로 접어들면서 효율적인 측면에서 이러한 기법들을 적용하기에는 문제가 따른다. 현재 사용되고 있는 TCP는 혼잡이 발생하면 선형적으로 점진적으로 증가 하기 때문에 많은 대역폭을 지원하는 고속 네트워크에서는 이러한 TCP의 혼잡 제어가 오히려 비 효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 혼잡 윈도우 증가율을 추가한 혼잡제어 기법인 TCP-FBA(Fast Bandwidth Acquisition)를 제안한다.

TCP is considered as one of the major candidate transport protocols even for constrained IoT networks..In our previous work, we investigated the congestion control mechanism of the uIP TCP. Since the uIP TCP sets the window size to one segment by default, managing the retransmission timer is the primary approach to congestion control. However, the original uIP TCP sets the retransmission timer based on the fixed RTO, it performs poorly when a radio duty cycling mechanism is enabled and the hidden terminal problem is severe. In our previous work, we proposed a TCP retransmission timer adjustment scheme for uIP TCP which adopts the notion of weak RTT estimation of CoCoA, exponential backoffs with variable limits, and dithering. Although our previous work showed that the proposed retransmission timer adjustment scheme can improve performance, we observe that the scheme often causes a node to set the retransmission timer for an excessively too long time period. In this work, we show that slightly modifying the dithering mechanism of the previous scheme is effective for improving TCP fairness.
