The differentiated services(DiffServ) architecture provides packet level service differentiation through the simple and predefined Per-Hop Behaviors(PHBs). The Assured Forwarding(AF) PHB proposed as the assured services uses the RED-in/out(RIO) approach to ensusre the expected capacity specified by the service profile. However, the AF PHB fails to give good QoS and fairness to the TCP flows. This is because OUT(out- of-profile) packet droppings at the RIO buffer are unfair and sporadic during only network congestion while the TCP's congestion control algorithm works with a different round trip time(RTT). In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Regulating Drop(ARD) marker, as a novel dropping strategy at the ingressive edge router, to improve TCP fairness in assured services without a decrease in the link utilization. To drop packets pertinently, the ARD marker adaptively changes a Temporary Permitted Rate(TPR) for aggregate TCP flows. To reduce the excessive use of greedy TCP flows by notifying droppings of their IN packets constantly to them without a decrease in the link utilization, according to the TPR, the ARD marker performs random early fair remarking and dropping of their excessive IN packets at the aggregate flow level. Thus, the throughput of a TCP flow no more depends on only the sporadic and unfair OUT packet droppings at the RIO buffer in the core router. Then, the ARD marker regulates the packet transmission rate of each TCP flow to the contract rate by increasing TCP fairness, without a decrease in the link utilization.

The differentiated services (DiffServ) is proposed to provide packet level service differentiations in a scalable manner. To provide an end-to-end service differentiation to users having a connection over multiple domains, as well as a flow marker, an intermediate marker is necessary at the edge routers, and it should not be operated at a flow level due to a scalability problem. Due to this operation requirement, the intermediate marker has a fairness problem among the transmission control protocol (TCP) flows since TCP flows have intrinsically unfair throughputs due to the TCP's congestion control algorithm. Moreover, it is very difficult to resolve this problem without individual flow state information such as round trip time (RTT) and sending rate of each flow. In this paper, to resolve this TCP fairness problem of an intermediate marker, we propose a fair scalable marker (FSM) as an intermediate marker which works with a source flow three color marker (sf-TCM) operating as a host source marker. The proposed fair scalable marker improves the fairness among the TCP flows with different RTTs without per-flow management. Through the simulations, we show that the FSM can improve TCP fairness as well as link utilization in multiple domain DiffServ networks.

As the proliferation of multimedia traffic over High-speed Internet increases, ATM network will be vital to adopt as backbone network over various parts of Internet. In this paper, we investigate the performance of TCP/IP traffic flow over ABR and UBR of ATM service to study for the high throughput and good fairness by simulation technique. Although TCP is run in the transport layer, it is controlled by several methods, e.g, EPD, PPD, RED, EFCI, ER etc, in ATM layer when TCP uses the ABR/UBR service. Therefore, if one cell is discarded in ATM layer, a packet of TCp will be laost. And, also, along with the increasing of the number of VC among switches, the throughput and fairness will be degraded. In order to improve these degradations, we propose the effective parameter control operations of EFCI and ER on ABR service, and also suggest the buffer management methods on UBR service. Finally, through the simulation results, the improved throughput and fairness are shown.

TCP Vegas 버전은 현재 인터넷에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 TCP Tahoe나 Reno 버전에 비하여 높은 성능과 안정된 서비스를 제공한다. 그러나 TCP vegas는 다른 버전의 TCP와 병목 링크를 공유하여 사용하게 되면 TCP Tahoe나 Reno 버전에 비하여 상대적으로 낮은 성능을 나타낸다. 이는 각 버전의 TCP가 수행하는 혼잡제어 알고리즘의 차이에서 기인하는 것으로 이를 해결하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 링크의 대역폭에 따른 TCP의 최대 성능을 유지할 수 있는 최소한의 윈도우 크기를 분석하고 중간 라우터의 큐에서 각 TCP 연결에 적절한 윈도우 크기를 할당하기 위한 패킷 폐기 정책을 수행함으로써 TCP의 성능을 유지하면서 공정성을 개선할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능평가는 각 TCP 연결에 의하여 종단 시스템간에 전송된 데이터 바이트 수를 기준으로 측정하였으며, 그 결과 제안한 알고리즘은 높은 TCP 성능을 유지하면서 공정성이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

To provide the end-to-end service differentiation for assured services, the random early demotion and promotion (REDP) marker in the edge router at each domain boundary monitors the aggregate flow of the incoming in-profile packets and demotes in-profile packets or promotes the previously demoted in-profile packets at the aggregate flow level according to the negotiated interdomain service level agreement (SLA). The REDP marker achieves UDP fairness in demoting and promoting packets through random and early marking decisions on packets. But, TCP fairness of the REDP marker is not obvious as for UDP sources. In this paper, to improve TCP fairness of the REDP marker, we propose a modified REDP marker where we combine a dropper, meters and a token filling rate configuration component with the REDP marker. To make packet transmission rates of TCP flows more fair, at the aggregate flow level the combined dropper drops incoming excessive in-profile packets randomly with a constant probability when the token level in the leaky bucket stays in demotion region without incoming demoted in-profile packets. Considering the case where the token level cannot stay in demotion region without the prior demotion, we propose a token filling rate configuration method using traffic meters. By using the token filling rate configuration method, the modified REDP marker newly configures a token filling rate which is less than the negotiated rate determined by interdomain SLA and larger than the current input aggregate in-profile traffic rate. Then, with the newly configured token filling rate, the token level in the modified REDP marker can stay in demotion region pertinently fir the operation of the dropper to improve TCP fairness. We experiment with the modified REDP marker using ns2 simulator fur TCP sources at the general case where the token level cannot stay in demotion region without the prior demotion at the negotiated rate set as the bottleneck link bandwidth. The simulation results demonstrate that through the combined dropper with the newly configured token filling rate, the modified REDP marker also increases both aggregate in-profile throughput and link utilization in addition to TCP fairness improvement compared to the REDP marker.

It performs a dropping in the demotion at a domain boundary only if there is no prior demotion. The concatenate dropping at multiple domains is avoided to manifest the effect of a dropping at a domain boundary on TCP fairness. We experiment with the REDP marker with the combined dropper using ns2 simulator for TCP sources. The simulation results show that the REDP marker with the combined dropper improves TCP fairness in demoting and promoting packets by generating fair demoted in-profile traffic compared to the REDP marker. The effectiveness of the selected drop probability is also investigated with showing its impact on the performance of the REDP marker with the combined dropper.

차등서비스 네트워크의 AF(Assured Forwarding) 서비스에서 TCP 트래픽을 위한 기존 marking policy 연구는 TCP 트래픽의 RTT(Round Trip Time), 목표 전송률(target rate) 영향 등에 대한 고려가 부족하였다. 본 논문에서는 TCP 트래픽의 RTT의 영향에 의한 낮은 공평성을 개선하기 위하여 평균 전송률 예측 기반에서 TCP flow의 상태 정보를 이용한 개선된 TSW3CDM_FS(Time Sliding Window Three Color Dynamic Marker) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 목표 전송률에 비례한 대역분배를 하기위한 dynamic marking policy 알고리즘이다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위하여 네트워크 시뮬레이터(NS-2)를 이용하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안한 TSW3CDM 알고리즘의 공평성이 기존의 TSW3CM 방식에 비해 향상된 결과를 보였다.

To support Quality of Service (QoS) in the existing Internet, Differentiated Service (Diff-Serv) has been proposed. But, the unfairness between TCP connections remains as a serious problem not only in the conventional best-effort service Internet but also in new Diff-Serv network. In this paper, we propose the Balancing Marker Algorithm (BMA) improving the fairness between individual connections of aggregated sources in a Diff-Serv network. This algorithm is based on the 3-level priority marking method. We compared the 2-level packet priority marker with the Balancing Marker proposed in this paper. And we showed that the BMA improved the fairness and the throughputs between the individual connections with different delays in an aggregated source.

본 논문은 DiffServ Assured Service에서 TCP 플로들간의 공평성을 보장하기 위해 Ingressive Edge router에서 필요한 새로운 패킷 Re-marking 방안을 제안하였다. 본 패킷 Re-marking 방안에서는 Temporary Permitted Rate (TPR)의 설정 방안이 제안되어, 네트워크 트래픽이 변화할 때 마다 설정된 TPR 값에 따라 Greedy TCP 플로틀의 IN 패킷들을 OUT 패킷들로 지속적이면서 적응적으로 Re-marking한다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안된 패킷 Re-marking 방안을 적용하여, 링크 이용률의 감소 없이 각 TCP 플로의 패킷 전송률을 계약된 전송률로 제어할 수 있음을 보였다.

ATM 망에서 GFR 서비스는 TCP/IP에 기초를 둔 비실시간 트래픽을 지원하기 위해 고안되었다. 또한, GFR 서비스는 프레임 레벨에서 최소 수율을 보장 할 뿐만 아니라 가용자원의 공평성을 보장한다. 본 논문에서는 GFR 서비스에서 비실시간 트래픽에 대한 효율적인 트래픽제어를 통하여 공평성과 수율을 향상시킬 수 있는 버퍼관리 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 통하여 공평성과 goodput을 기존의 버퍼관리기법과 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안된 기법이 기존의 기법보다 공평성과 gootput면에서 향상되었음을 확인 할 수 있었다.
