Analysis of TCP With Several Bottleneck Nodes

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Many works have studied the performance of TCP by modeling the network as a single bottleneck node. This paper presents a more general model taking into account all the nodes on the path not only the main bottleneck. The paper shows that, in addition to the main bottleneck, the other nodes can seriously affect the performance of TCP. They may cause an improvement in the performance by decreasing the burstiness of TCP traffic arriving at the main bottleneck. But, if the buffers in these nodes are not well dimensioned, the congestion may be shifted to them which deteriorates the performance even though they are faster than the main bottleneck.

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

The packets that make up the audio stream may take different routes from node to node over the network in question but and are put back into order at the termination point to make up the audio that we recognise as conversation.

The Bloor Perspective: Linux in utility computing, Ellison the visionary and hotspot models

It didn't happen because it was the best option or because it was purpose-designed to run a world-wide network with hundreds of millions of nodes. The easiest way to see the need for a standard OS is to consider why and how TCP/IP became a standard.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Six degrees and super nodes
