Adaptive Low Priority Packet Marking for Better TCP Performance

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview This paper proposes a packet marking scheme for TCP traffic. Unlike previous literature work, in the scheme the majority of TCP packets are transmitted as high priority. The role of a low priority packet appears that of a probe, whose goal is to early discover network congestion conditions. Low priority packets are marked according to an adaptive marking algorithm. Numerical results show that the scheme provides improved throughput/delay performance.

Ipv6: An acronym to shake the networked world

It ensures hackers cannot look at or change data packets. Treating data packets as preferential is only one method of enabling real time communication. Therefore routers can process packets faster. For example, if packets are dealt with in various...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Counterintuitive networks

Well, says Peter Cochrane, in the week one congestion-easing scheme hogged the headlines, think again. And the knock-on of trains that are cancelled, road traffic accidents and congestion is the generation of more clustered mobile phone calls!

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

It is impossible to control the internet in the same way we control the telephone network and so congestion, collisions and traffic jams cause delays, bunching of packets in an unpredictable manner. The most successful attempts see the prescriptive...

Where is the mysterious internet code coming from?

While such an internet address in the source field of a data packet will often be transmitted by less vigilant internet service providers, almost no provider would forward data that had such an address in the destination field.

Secure VoIP has arrived

TCP uses packet retransmission, which means that packets can be delayed en route to their destination. The Net6 device sends false TCP acknowledgements so that the sender continues sending packets. Murli Thirumale, Net6's chief executive officer...

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

The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic intermingles with packets from other applications. With DiffServ, information about priority is places in a packets header; with MPLS and extra header field is attached.

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.
