Analysis of TCP-AQM Interaction Via Periodic Optimization and Linear Programming: The Case of Sigmoidal Utility Function

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview This paper investigates the interaction between Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and an Active Queue Management (AQM) router, that are designed to control congestion in the Internet. TCP controls the sending rate with which the data is injected into the network and AQM generates control signals based on the congestion level. For a given TCP version, the paper defines the optimal strategy for the AQM router as a solution of a nonlinear periodic optimization problem, and one finds this solution using a linear programming approach. The paper shows that depending on the choice of the utility function for the sending rate, the optimal control is either periodic or steady state.

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.

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?
