Abstract

In this paper we study the design of a rate controller for TCP-friendly non-TCP flows using multiple end-to-end paths simultaneously. Previous work has shown that it is possible to design a rate controller for multipath TCP that is friendly to standard TCP traffic while improving throughput over single path connections. We argue that this rate controller is not optimal for every type of non-TCP traffic. We propose a new rate controller that adjusts the subflow rates dynamically according to the solution of an optimisation problem. We show that it improves goodput over currently known single-path and multi-path controllers while being fair to standard TCP traffic even in the case of not observable shared bottleneck links in the network.

TCP-friendly Congestion Control for HighSpeed Network
SAINT '07: Proceedings of the 2007 International Symposium on Applications and the Internet

The currently used TCP congestion control, TCP Reno, has two weaknesses. To solve this TCP Reno drawback, HighSpeed TCP and Scalable TCP were proposed. However, the fairness between these proposed TCP and TCP Reno is not considered, when both ...
TCP-Friendly CBR-Like Rate Control
ICNP '08: Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols

While the current definition of TCP friendliness has enabled a wide variety of traffic control protocols other than TCP, it still considerably restricts the design space of TCP-friendly traffic control protocols. For example, some multimedia streaming ...
Evaluating TCP-friendliness in light of Concurrent Multipath Transfer

In prior work, a CMT protocol using SCTP multihoming (termed SCTP-based CMT) was proposed and investigated for improving application throughput. SCTP-based CMT was studied in (bottleneck-independent) wired networking scenarios with ns-2 simulations. ...
