On Modeling Feedback Congestion Control Mechanism of TCP Using Fluid Flow Approximation and Queueing Theory

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview The Internet uses a window-based congestion control mechanism in TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). In the literature, there have been a great number of analytical studies on TCP. Most of those studies have focused on the statistical behavior of TCP by assuming a constant packet loss probability in the network. However, the packet loss probability, in reality, changes according to packet transmission rates from TCP connections. This paper explicitly models the interaction between the congestion control mechanism of TCP and the network as a feedback system. Namely, the paper models the congestion control mechanism of TCP as a dynamic system, where the input to the system is the packet loss probability and the output is the window size.

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.

Where is the mysterious internet code coming from?

The only common thread seemed to be that the data packet had a window size of 55,808 bytes and, in many cases, came from a nonexistent internet address. The window size is a parameter used by TCP/IP networks to specify the amount of data, in bytes...

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

Transmission control protocol (TCP) arranges them in the right order. What jitter means or how packet loss is another's gain? In these circumstances, packet loss is inevitable and no service provider can guarantee otherwise.

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.
