This study focuses on achieving stable network flow in high bandwidth-delay product networks by implementing smooth traffic shaping techniques on the GNET-1 hardware network testbed. Results show improved performance and reduced packet loss in transpacific networks. The approach involves adapting smooth traffic shaping to stabilize traffic in such networks.

Peak 1Gbps RTT RTT RTT > 2.4 Gbps Background • Why traffic on a high bandwidth-delay product network is not stable ? But sometimes packets are lost ! 500Mbps Stream A 500Mbps Stream B 1.5Gbps < 2.4Gbps 500Mbps Stream C 2.4Gbps network TCP has software pacing by self clocking of ACK packet, but it is not always effective. CHEP 2004
Smooth traffic shaping • Limit the bandwidth of each stream to 1/n of bottleneck line rigidly by adjusting IFG (Inter Frame Gap) • Adjusting IFG is very smoothly limit the stream bandwidth, we realize it on hardware network testbed GNET-1 1Gbps Average 500Mbps 500Mbps 0Mbps IFG = Frame Len.
