Loss Synchronization of TCP Connections at a Shared Bottleneck Link
Overview This paper studies the degree of loss synchronization between TCP connections sharing a bottleneck network link, i.e., the fraction of the connections that lose a packet during a congestion instance. Loss synchronization determines the variability of the total TCP load on the link and therefore affects the loss, delay, and throughput characteristics of network applications. This paper conducts investigation in the Open Network Laboratory (ONL), a network testbed maintained by the Applied Research Laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis. To measure loss synchronization, an ONL plugin is developed that collects packet-level statistics at a router and communicates the recorded data to an end host for generating a log file.
