We study the issue of providing rate guarantees to TCP connections. Different buffer
management algorithms for FIFO based scheduling are evaluated by means of analysis and …

Without appropriately fair buffer management in the network, TCP encounters inherent
unfairness towards connections with long round-trip times. The paper proposes a …

We investigate the performance of TCP under several packet scheduling algorithms at the
router. Our main focus is how fair service can be provided for elastic applications sharing the …

Two areas of active research are likely to have a major impact on the future performance of
the Internet. These are firstly, the evaluation of the buffer size required to ensure fair, stable …

The Internet architecture uses congestion avoidance mechanisms implemented in the
transport layer protocol like TCP to provide good service under heavy load. If network nodes …

The guaranteed frame rate service (GFR) is viewed as the most promising ATM service for
carrying TCP/IP traffic over large distances. We study the behavior of differential fair buffer …

Providing fair and stable service to competing best-effort flows over a bottleneck router/link
pair is a major challenge. Recently there is growing interest in providing isolation and …

We investigate the performance of TCP under three representatives of packet scheduling
algorithms at the router. Our main focus is to investigate how fair service can be provided for …

In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of packet-drop mechanisms in conjunction
with fair queuing link scheduling and hierarchical link sharing. Under fair queuing, the link …

We propose a buffer management mechanism, called V-WFQ (virtual weighted fair
queueing), for achieving approximately fair bandwidth allocation with a small amount of …
