Oscillations With TCP-Like Flow Control in Networks of Queues

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview This paper considers a set of flows passing through a set of servers. The injection rate into each flow is governed by a flow control that increases the injection rate when all the servers on the flow's path are empty and decreases the injection rate when some server is congested. It shows that if each server's congestion is governed by the arriving traffic at the server then the system can oscillate. This is in contrast to previous work on flow control where congestion was modeled as a function of the flow injection rates and the system was shown to converge to a steady state that maximizes an overall network utility.

'Selfish' routers slow the internet

That's the conclusion two Cornell University computer scientists came to after finding that computer networks tend to be "selfish" when each tries to route traffic by the fastest pathway, causing that path to become congested and slow.

Government to buy satellite car-tracking data

The government claims the data will dramatically improve congestion monitoring, especially in urban areas where it will be used to identify congestion hot spots and as the basis for planning and managing the flow of traffic on the England's roads.

Tech heart to future UK roads policy

There is no "killer idea" that will lessen levels of congestion on UK roads, though IT will be at the heart of improving traffic flow, according to the recently appointed director of information at the Highways Agency (HA).

Bog reel: Welsh company puts cables in the sewer

As the ground below city streets becomes ever more congested with cables of all types, it's getting more and more difficult for network companies to find new pathways. The cables also need to be robust enough to be able to sit unattached in the...

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.

Hot issue for green IT

Air flows are controlled and directed through the racks to maximise cooling using a mix of laminar and turbulent air flows. With the onward march of utility computing, hot components such as CPUs, disks and power supplies have become more densely...

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.
