As the use of real-time multimedia applications increases, a considerable amount of “greedy” UDP traffic would easily dominate network bandwidth and packet loss. As a result, bandwidth available to TCP connections is oppressed and their performance extremely deteriorates. In or-der that both TCP and UDP sessions fairly co-exist in the Internet, it is vital that we consider the fairness among both protocols. In this work, we implement a “TCP-friendly” rate control mechanism suitable to video applications and con-sider its applicability to a real system through observation of the video quality at the receiver and the connection state. It is shown that we can achieve high-quality and stable video transfer fairly sharing the network bandwidth with TCP by applying our rate control at a control interval of 32 times as long as RTT.

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.

In this paper, we extend the multiple time scale control framework to window-based congestion control, in particular, TCP This is performed by interfacing TCP with a large tine scale control nodule 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 Our contribution is threefold. First, we define a modular extension of TCP-a function call with a simple interface-that applies to various flavors of TCP-e.g., Tahoe, Reno, Vegas and show that it significantly improves performance. Second, we show that multiple time scale TCP endows the underlying feedback control with preactivity by bridging the uncertainty gap associated with reactive controls which is exacerbated by the high delay-bandwidth product in broadband wide area networks. Third, we investigate the influence of three traffic control dimensions-tracking ability, connection duration, and fairness-on performance. Performance evaluation of multiple time scale TCP is facilitated by a simulation bench-mark environment which is based on physical modeling of self-similar traffic.

기존의 TCP/IP 네트워크 상에서 혼잡을 제어하는 일반적인 방법은 end-to-end 피드백 방식이다. 혼잡이 발생했는지의 여부는 수신측의 ACK 신호로 예측할 수밖에 없으므로 RTT(round trip time)가 길어질 경우 혼잡처리 시간이 길어지게 된다. Active Network 기술을 이용한 ACC(Active Congestion Control)의 경우 혼잡이 발생한 라우터에서 전송자에게 직접적으로 정보를 전송하기 때문에 보다 빠른 혼잡처리가 가능하다. 비록 코어 라우터에서 패킷을 누락시키는 방법에 있어 상태정보를 필요로 하는 단점이 있지만 모의 실험 결과 향상된 처리량을 보여주었다. 혼잡처리에 있어 새로운 처리 방식은 AQM(Active Queue Management)이다. 이 방식은 RED 를 기본 모델로 변형된 것이 대부분이며 RED 가 갖는 단점을 개선하고 혼잡처리와 공평성(fairness)을 향상 시키는데 목적이 있다. 본 논문에서는 ACC 의 피드백 메커니즘과 AQM 의 융통성 있는 큐 관리 기법을 이용하여 보다 향상된 혼잡제어 기법을 보이겠다.
