Abstract

In practice, because of their saturating affects, potentially all traditional transmission control protocol (TCP) congestion estimators effectively degrade the operational performance and efficiency of virtually all highspeed networks. Here the authors adopt a novel idea of using queueing-based estimator to estimate the TCP operating points ahead of their occurrence of network congestion. For this purpose the authors employ recent work of packet time-series analysis. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the idea, the authors embed the new estimator into several TCP variants in NS-2 and Linux kernel. For this evaluation the authors have programmed the simulation system to simulate a wide range of classic operating environments and setup many practical test-bed emulators for measurements. The authors results show that the idea of using a queueing-based estimator provides us far more earlier, sensitive and consistent estimation for the operating point than the classic loss/delay-based TCP traffic estimators. The authors then show that the new approach improves the overall estimation efficiency and provides higher performance and fairness when monitoring TCP traffic.
