  3. Outline • Motivation & approach • FAST architecture • Window control algorithm • Experimental evaluation skip: theoretical foundation

  4. Congestion control Example congestion measure pl(t) • Loss (Reno) • Queueing delay (Vegas) pl(t) xi(t)

  5. pl(t) • AQM: • DropTail • RED • REM/PI • AVQ xi(t) TCP: • Reno • Vegas TCP/AQM • Congestion control is a distributed asynchronous algorithm to share bandwidth • It has two components • TCP: adapts sending rate (window) to congestion • AQM: adjusts & feeds back congestion information • They form a distributed feedback control system • Equilibrium & stability depends on both TCP and AQM • And on delay, capacity, routing, #connections

  6. Difficulties at large window • Equilibrium problem • Packet level: AI too slow, MD too drastic • Flow level: required loss probability too small • Dynamic problem • Packet level: must oscillate on binary signal • Flow level: unstable at large window 5

  7. ACK: W  W + 1/W Loss: W  W – 0.5W • Packet level • Flow level • Equilibrium • Dynamics pkts Packet & flow level Reno TCP (Mathis formula)

  8. Reno TCP • Packet level • Designed and implemented first • Flow level • Understood afterwards • Flow level dynamics determines • Equilibrium: performance, fairness • Stability • Design flow level equilibrium & stability • Implement flow level goals at packet level

  9. Reno TCP • Packet level • Designed and implemented first • Flow level • Understood afterwards • Flow level dynamics determines • Equilibrium: performance, fairness • Stability Packet level design of FAST, HSTCP, STCP guided by flow level properties

  10. ACK: W  W + 1/W Loss: W  W – 0.5W • Reno AIMD(1, 0.5) ACK: W  W + a(w)/W Loss: W  W – b(w)W • HSTCP AIMD(a(w), b(w)) ACK: W  W + 0.01 Loss: W  W – 0.125W • STCP MIMD(a, b) • FAST Packet level

  11. Flow level: Reno, HSTCP, STCP, FAST • Similarflow level equilibrium pkts/sec (Mathis formula) a = 1.225 (Reno), 0.120 (HSTCP), 0.075 (STCP)

  12. Flow level: Reno, HSTCP, STCP, FAST • Commonflow level dynamics! window adjustment control gain flow level goal = • Different gain k and utility Ui • They determine equilibrium and stability • Different congestion measure pi • Loss probability (Reno, HSTCP, STCP) • Queueing delay (Vegas, FAST)

  13. Implementation strategy • Commonflow level dynamics window adjustment control gain flow level goal = • Small adjustment when close, large far away • Need to estimate how far current state is wrt target • Scalable • Window adjustment independent of pi • Depends only on current window • Difficult to scale

  14. Outline • Motivation & approach • FAST architecture • Window control algorithm • Experimental evaluation skip: theoretical foundation

  19. Window control algorithm • Full utilization • regardless of bandwidth-delay product • Globally stable • exponential convergence • Fairness • weighted proportional fairness • parameter a
