Enhancing TCP Congestion Control Via Connection Bandwidth Estimation, A Performance Study

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview This paper presents performance studies of TCP Westwood (TCPW), a sender-side modification of the congestion window control scheme in TCP. TCP Westwood relies on end-to-end rate estimation. The key innovative idea is to continuously measure at the TCP sender the packet rate of the connection by monitoring the rate of returning ACKs. The estimate is then used to compute congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion episode, that is, after three duplicate acknowledgments or a timeout.

Slammer time - SQL worm brings net to its knees over weekend

SQL uses a keep-alive mechanism to distinguish between active and passive instances but the flaw means that if a particular data packet is sent to the SQL Server 2000 keep-alive function, it will reply to the sender with an identical packet.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

It is impossible to control the internet in the same way we control the telephone network and so congestion, collisions and traffic jams cause delays, bunching of packets in an unpredictable manner. Instead of a known and dedicated connection, each...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Fat cat telcos are killing the net

Yes, it all works to some degree some of the time but continually increasing the number of VoIP and videoconference calls, radio and TV broadcasts just creates congestion, increased latencies and ultimately one meltdown after another.

Mobiles working on their sensor-tive side

In the handset company's vision, the consumers of tomorrow will be using their mobile as a window into the world of their friends and co-workers. He said: "We are envisaging network congestion. There are congestion points in the short and medium term.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
