TCP Vegas나 FAST TCP는 RTT(Round Trip Time) 동안 실제 처리량(actual throughput)이 기대 처리량 (expected throughput)보다 특정 임계값보다 더 작으면 혼잡 상황으로 판단하고 송신측에서 내보내는 데이터 양을 감소시킴으로써 혼잡을 제어한다. 그러나 RTT 기반의 처리량(Throughput) 측정은 송수신 경로가 다를 경우 양방향 경로의 혼잡 상황을 구분하지 않는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 TCP Timestamp를 이용하여 양방향 혼잡 상황을 구분하여 혼잡을 제어하는 메커니즘을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 방식에 대한 성능 분석을 위해 NS-2의 TCP Vegas를 수정하여 시뮬레이션한 결과를 제시한다.

유선에서와는 달리 무선망에서는 채널의 대역폭이 이동 단말기의 위치와 시간에 따라 변하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 유선 망의 대역폭과 TCP의 RTT와의 관계에 대한 논문은 이미 많이 발표 되어 있다[1]. 하지만 고정된 대역폭에서 최적화 되어있는 TCP 의 혼잡 제어 알고리즘이 다양한 변화를 가지는 무선 환경에서도 좋은 성능을 내는 지에 대해 발표된 연구 결과는 많지 않다. 이 논문에서는 RTT 에 영향을 받는 TCP 의 throughput 이 무선 채널의 변화와는 어떤 관계가 있는 지를 살펴보고자 한다[2]. 오랫동안 지속되는 TCP 연결에 의해 생성되는 CDMA 1X EV-DO 시스템에서 사용되는 비례 공정 스케줄링과 기존의 스케줄링을 이용하여 packet 을 전송하였을 경우 무선 채널의 변화와 RTT의 관계에 의해 나타나는 결과를 살펴보겠다.

무선네트워크 TCP는 패킷손실을 혼잡에 의한 것으로 보고 전송률을 감소시키는데, 고대역폭 연결의 효율성을 높이기 위해 M-TCP에서의 링크이용율에 따른 트래픽 처리를 연구한다. M-TCP는 무선네트워크에서 연결 중단이 자주 발생하고 동적으로 변하는 대역폭으로 인한 비트율이 낮은 무선 링크에 효과적인 프로토콜이다. 연견 중단 시 송신노드가 인접한 경우나 멀리 떨어져 있는 경우 유리하며, M-TCP가 링크 계층 솔루션과 함께 사용될 경우 TCP 성능이 향상된다. 본 논문에서는 백그라운드 트래픽 흐름은 그대로 유지하여 M-TCP상에서 연결의 개수를 늘린 후 그 결과 발생하는 대역폭 공유 반응 및 링크 이용율로 M-TCP 연결로부터 생긴 트래픽 처리를 분석한다.

TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) is currently used connection-oriented protocol as a typical transport layer protocol in the Internet. However, it has deficiency not be able to communicate with other TCP entities when any link included in the path is down because of single-homing on single path. SCTP(Stream Control Transmission Protocol) suggested as the new transport layer protocol supports multi-homing feature, which provides several paths between source and destination. It can communicate with other SCTP entities using alternate path even when any link on the primary path is down. This paper aims to measure and analyze the multi-homing effect of SCTP over TCP in case of link-down using NS-2 simulator. We classify SCTP into $SCTP_{single-homing}$ and $SCTP_{multi-homing}$ because SCTP with single-homing can also be used like TCP. We measured throughput and bandwidth utilization varying link-down duration, bandwidth, and RTT(round trip time), Simulation results show that throughput of $SCTP_{multi-homing}$ is more than that of TCP by 18 % on average. It is also shown that $SCTP_{multi-homing}$ on varying RTT and bandwidth increases the throughput of TCP by 'l7% and 9% on average, respectively in the link-down environment. In above cases, more or less difference between $SCTP_{single-homing}$ and TCP on throughput and bandwidth utilization was found To summarize, multi-homing effect of SCTP over TCP on throughput is about 18 % on average in the link-down environment This experimental result can be used as the benchmark in order to estimate the multi-homing effect of SCTP over TCP when the link-down happens in the real Internet.

TCP 프로토콜과 ATM 프로토콜과의 형태 및 제어방식의 차이로 인한 이질성 문제 때문에 ATM 층에서 한 개의 셀 손실은 상위 TCP층에서 하나의 패킷 손실을 초래하게 되어 망에 대한 충분한 QoS를 제공하지 못한다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 처리율면에서 Early Packet Discard(EPD)와 공정성면에서 Selective Packet Discard(SPD), Fair Buffer Allocation (FBA) 등이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 ATM상에서 TCP 성능성향을 위해 기존의 알고리즘과 제안한 알고리즘에 대하여 비교분석하고 , VC의 수를 가변적으로 변화시켜도 제안한 알고리즘은 SPD나 FBA보다 나은 공정성을 보였고, 처리율면에서는 차이가 없음을 시뮬레이션결과를 통해 나타내었다.

In a mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) network, many users access a base station (BS), which relays data transferred from high-speed wired network to low-speed wireless network. For this difference of their data rate, a BS suffers from the lack of its buffer space when many users run multiple applications at the same time, and thus packet losses occur. TCP, which guarantees end-to-end reliability, is used as transport protocol also in wireless networks. But TCP lowers their transmission rate incorrectly and frequently whenever packet losses occur. And they increase their transmission rate differently with each other; finally TCP throughput of each TCP flow varies largely, and then TCP fairness goes worse. In this paper, a scheme that controls packet transmission rate adaptively according to TCP flows' transmission rate, that prevents buffer overflows at BS, and that guarantees TCP fairness at a certain degree is proposed. As it is analyzed by simulations, the proposed scheme enhances TCP fairness by maintaining TCP throughput of each TCP sender similarly with each other.

IPv6 도입 단계에서는 IPv4 Network와 IPv6 Network가 혼재하게 되는데, 이 때 IPv4 Network와 IPv6 Network 간의 통신을 가능하게 하는 IPv6­IPv4 프로토콜 변환기가 요구된다. 그러나 성능 분석 결과에 따르면, 기존에 구현된 프로토콜 변환기는 운영 체제를 기반으로 한 소프트웨어로 구현되어 있어서 Network 간의 모든 트래픽을 처리하기에는 성능 상의 한계가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 기존 소프트웨어 프로토콜 변환기의 성능 인자 분석 연구를 토대로 하여, 하드웨어 기반의 고성능 64Translator를 제안하였다. 64Translator는 하드웨어 TCP/IPv6와 TCP/IPv4를 내장하고 개선된 메모리 엑세스 방식을 사용함으로써 기존 구현 방식에 비해 성능을 개선하였다. 구현된 하드웨어 모듈에 대해서는 소프트웨어 시뮬레이션과 시험망상에서의 테스트를 수행함으로써 그 기능을 검증하였다.

In this paper, low-rate TCP attack as one of shrew attacks is considered and the scaling based dynamic time warping (S-DTW) algorithm is introduced. The low-rate TCP attack can not be detected by the detection method for the previous flooding DoS/DDoS (Denial of Service/Distirbuted Denial of Service) attacks due to its low average traffic rate. It, however, is a periodic short burst that exploits the homogeneity of the minimum retransmission timeout (RTO) of TCP flows and then some pattern matching mechanisms have been proposed to detect it among legitimate input flows. A DTW mechanism as one of detection approaches has proposed to detect attack input stream consisting of many legitimate or attack flows, and shown a depending method as well. This approach, however, has a problem that legitimate input stream may be caught as an attack one. In addition, it is difficult to decide a threshold for separation between the legitimate and the malicious. Thus, the causes of this problem are analyzed through simulation and the scaling by maximum auto-correlation value is executed before computing the DTW. We also discuss the results on applying various scaling approaches and using standard deviation of input streams monitored.

To prevent performance degradation of TCP due to packet losses in the smooth handoff by the route optimization extension of Mobile IP protocol, a buffering of packets at a base station is needed. A buffering of packets at a base station recovers those packets dropped during handoff by forwarding buffered packets at the old base station to the mobile user. But, when the mobile user moves to a congested base station in a new foreign subnetwork, those buffered packets forwarded by the old base station are dropped and TCP transmission performance of a mobile user in the congested base station degrades due to increased congestion by those forwarded burst packets. In this paper, considering the general case that a mobile user moves to a congested base station, we analyze the influence of packet buffering on TCP performance according to handoff arrival distribution for Drop-tail and RED (Random Early Detection) buffer management schemes. Simulation results show that RED scheme can reduce the congestion increased by those forwarded burst packets comparing Drop-Tail, but RED scheme cannot avoid Global Synchronization due to forwarded burst packets by the old base station and new buffer management scheme to avoid it is needed in Mobile IP based networks.

In this paper. we propose a novel performance monitoring scheme for heterogeneous SOAP nodes. The scheme is basically based on two-level (kernel-level and user-level) packet filtering of TCP flows. By TCP flow, we mean a sequence of raw packet streams on a TCP transaction. In this scheme, we detect and extract SOAP operations embedded in SOAP messages from TCP flows. Therefore, it becomes possible to monitor heterogeneous SOAP nodes deployed on diverse SOAP-based middlewares such as .Net and Apache AXIS. We present two implementation mechanisms for the proposed scheme. The first mechanism tries to identify SOAP operations by analyzing all fragmented SOAP messages on TCP flows. However, a naive policy would incur untolerable overhead since it needs to copy all packets from kernel to user space. The second mechanism overcomes this problem by selectively copying packets from kernel to user space. For selective copying, we use a kernel-level packet filtering method that makes use of some representative TCP flags.(e.g. SIN, FIN and PSH). In this mechanism, we can detect SOAP operations only from the last fragment of SOAP messages in most cases. Finally, we implement a SOAP monitoring system using a component ca]led SOAP Sniffer that realizes our proposed scheme, and show experimental results. We strongly believe that our system will play a vital role as a tool for various services such as transaction monitoring and load balancing among heterogeneous SOAP nodes.
