RSS equilibriumA New TCP Congestion Control With Empty Queues and Scalable Stability
White Paper When a congestion measure signal from links to sources is available, the system can satisfy also the key objectives of high utilization and emptying the network queues in equilibrium. This paper describes a new congestion avoidance system designed... [19 Dec 2007]
Managing Relationship Equilibrium in Outsourcing
White Paper The intent of governance in outsourcing is to provide a mutually agreed-upon framework for the way a service provider and client will work together to conduct business (the outsourced function) and manage their relationship. [12 Dec 2007]
Fluid-Flow Analysis of TCP Westwood With RED
White Paper A fluid-flow model of the protocol is developed, and it is used to study both equilibrium and dynamic features. On the equilibrium side, the scaling of window with loss-probability is identified, and it is compared to TCP NewReno. [05 Dec 2007]
Fluid-Flow Analysis of TCP Westwood With RED
White Paper A fluid-flow model of TCPW with RED is developed and it is used to study both equilibrium and dynamic features. On the equilibrium side, the authors identify the scaling of window with loss-probability, and compare it to TCP NewReno. [05 Dec 2007]
Analysis of a Window-Based Flow Control Mechanism Based on TCP Vegas in Heterogeneous Network Environment
White Paper The paper first derives equilibrium values of a window size of a TCP connection and the number of packets waiting in a router's buffer in steady state. Another version of TCP called TCP Vegas has been proposed and studied in the literature. [05 Dec 2007]
Steady State Analysis of the RED Gateway: Stability, Transient Behavior, and Parameter Setting
White Paper It first derives the equilibrium values of the TCP window size and the buffer occupancy of the RED gateway. Several gateway-based congestion control mechanisms have been proposed to support an end-to-end congestion control mechanism of TCP... [05 Dec 2007]
Equilibrium and Fairness of Networks Shared by TCP Reno and Vegas/FAST
White Paper It has been proved theoretically that a network with heterogeneous congestion control algorithms that react to different congestion signals can have multiple equilibrium points. This paper demonstrates this experimentally using TCP Reno and Vegas... [06 Nov 2007]
Fairness Comparison of FAST TCP and TCP Vegas
White Paper This paper compares the equilibrium properties of FAST TCP and TCP Vegas. Although the two have the same equilibrium point when all sources know their true propagation delays, FAST is fairer when there are estimation errors. [30 Oct 2007]
Cross-Layer Optimization in TCP/IP Networks
White Paper This paper shows that an equilibrium of TCP/IP, if exists, maximizes aggregate utility over both source rates and routes, provided congestion prices are used as link costs. Equilibrium exists if and only if this utility maximization problem and its... [30 Oct 2007]
Reverse Engineering TCP/IP-Like Networks Using Delay-Sensitive Utility Functions
White Paper It has recently been shown that an equilibrium of TCP/IP, if exists, maximizes the same delay-insensitive utility over both source rates and routes, provided pure congestion prices are used as link costs in the shortest-path calculation of IP. [30 Oct 2007]
TCP Connection Game: A Study on the Selfish Behavior of TCP Users
White Paper A central question asked is whether there is a Nash Equilibrium in such a game, and if it exists, whether the network operates efficiently at such a Nash Equilibrium. This paper presents a game-theoretic study of the selfish behavior of TCP users... [30 Oct 2007]
Dynamic Analysis of Congested TCP Networks
White Paper Assuming integral action in the active queue management scheme, the network's equilibrium point is computed about which the network's small-signal dynamics is determined. The objective of this paper is to study the small-signal stability of... [30 Oct 2007]
Fixed Point of a TCP/RENO DiffServ Network With a Single Congested Link
White Paper The present implementation of leaky buckets often forces the equilibrium queue level to be at the green set-point even at an exact-provisioned network. The DiffServ network under consideration run TCP RENO, uses a multi-PI AQM for marking at the... [30 Oct 2007]
Nonlinear Stability Analysis for a Class of TCP/AQM Networks
White Paper In the case of delay-free marking, it shows the system's equilibrium point to be asymptotically stable for all proportional gains. Recent work has shown the benefit of using proportional feedback in TCP/AQM networks. [29 Oct 2007]
Economics of Network Pricing With Multiple ISPs
White Paper This paper examines the existence of equilibrium strategies in this situation and show how positive profit can be achieved using threat strategies with multiple qualities of service. This paper examines how transit and customer prices and quality... [19 Oct 2007]
