Revisiting the Fair Queueing Paradigm for End-to-End Congestion Control

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview Today, the dominant paradigm for congestion control in the Internet is based on the notion of TCP-friendliness. To be TCP-friendly, a source must behave in such a way as to achieve a bandwidth that is similar to the bandwidth obtained by a TCP flow that would observe the same Round Trip Time (RTT) and the same loss rate. However, with the success of the Internet comes the deployment of an increasing number of applications that do not use TCP as a transport protocol. These applications can often improve their own performance by not being TCP-friendly, which severely penalizes TCP flows. To design new applications to be TCP-friendly is often a difficult task.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Counterintuitive networks

For example the road, rail and air transport congestion in the UK now costs far more than all the national investment in healthcare and education combined. And the knock-on of trains that are cancelled, road traffic accidents and congestion is 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.

Unwired: Fewer desks than people?

The notion of having fewer desks than people has developed a bad reputation since it was first introduced in the late 1980s, and several high-profile hotdesking failures mean the term now provokes a sinking heart amongst many office workers.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: How we'll beat road pricing

Unfortunately all efforts to sort out public transport have seen no significant improvements and in many areas the situation is critical, especially in London where it seems to me the congestion charge has failed to improve traffic flows.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
