Scalable TCP: Improving performance in highspeed wide area networks

T Kelly - ACM SIGCOMM computer communication Review, 2003 - dl.acm.org
TCP congestion control can perform badly in highspeed wide area networks because of its
slow response with large congestion windows. The challenge for any alternative protocol is …

[PDF][PDF] H-TCP: TCP for high-speed and long-distance networks

D Leith, R Shorten - Proceedings of PFLDnet, 2004 - Citeseer
In this paper we present a congestion control protocol that is suitable for deployment in
highspeed and long-distance networks. The new protocol, H-TCP, is shown to fair when …

Part I: Buffer sizes for core routers

D Wischik, N McKeown - ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication …, 2005 - dl.acm.org
In this article we describe recent work on buffer sizing for core Internet routers. This work
suggests that the widely-used rule of thumb leads to buffers which are much larger than they …

Buffer sizes for large multiplexers: TCP queueing theory and instability analysis

G Raina, D Wischik - Next Generation Internet Networks, 2005, 2005 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In large multiplexers with many TCP flows, the aggregate traffic flow behaves predictably;
this is a basis for the fluid model of Misra, Gong and Towsley V. Misra et al.,(2000) and for a …

Part II: Control theory for buffer sizing

G Raina, D Towsley, D Wischik - ACM SIGCOMM Computer …, 2005 - dl.acm.org
This article describes how control theory has been used to address the question of how to
size the buffers in core Internet routers. Control theory aims to predict whether the is stable …

Local bifurcation analysis of some dual congestion control algorithms

G Raina - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2005 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We perform the necessary calculations to determine the stability and asymptotic forms of
solutions bifurcating from steady state in a nonlinear delay differential equation with a single …

Analysis and design of AIMD congestion control algorithms in communication networks

RN Shorten, DJ Leith, J Foy, R Kilduff - Automatica, 2005 - Elsevier
We present a model of a network of synchronised sources operating additive increase
multiplicative decrease (AIMD) congestion control algorithms. We show:(i) that networks of …

[PDF][PDF] H-TCP: A framework for congestion control in high-speed and long-distance networks

D Leith, R Shorten, Y Lee - PFLDnet Workshop, 2005 - scss.tcd.ie
In this paper we present a new AIMD congestion control algorithm, H-TCP, that is suitable for
deployment in high speed and long distance networks as well as conventional networks. H …
