A Simulation Study of Multi-Color Marking of TCP Aggregates

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are contracts signed between a provider and a customer to govern the amount of traffic that will be serviced. This work pinpoints an important problem faced by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) which is to be able to differentiate between the services given to aggregates of multiple TCP connections. The Metro-Ethernet access network, the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) architecture and the ATM reference model are three architectural models where edge routers perform traffic metering and coloring of aggregated flows according to the SLA. Finer color marking was suggested to improve differentiation quality. The authors observed that increasing the number of colors indeed provides a good differentiation between the aggregates according to the committed and the excess rates.

Telco-friendly Ethernet 'ready for action'

The MEF specifications couch network parameters in terms which telcos will understand, including "Ethernet virtual circuits", which mimic the virtual circuits on ATM networks, and "committed information rates" and "peak information rates" like...

IP over everything?

In practice, the former involves finding a method of utilising traditional SDH infrastructure to transport IP using time-honoured protocols such as ATM and Frame Relay. In essence, C&W's SDH assets are being used to connect up IP routers and then...

HP-UX to gain 10Gbps networking capability

HP has signed a deal to sell network adapters from start-up S2io that the companies say can transfer data 10 times faster than today's widespread standard. That "offload" engine ensures that a server's main processor can perform useful work instead...

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

Routers ping each other, to see which pathway is congested, completely blocked or relatively open. Both can tell routers what priority it has over other applications. The LAN cabling and routers may need upgrading, new handsets will need to be...

Cracked: The Great Firewall of China

The researchers found it was possible to circumvent the Chinese intrusion detection systems (IDS) by ignoring the forged TCP resets injected by the Chinese routers, which would normally force the endpoints to abandon the connection.

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.
