Fast retransmit problem #1: Timeout • CWND is full • 51 is recovered • By fast retransmit • 53 couldn’t recovered • Network is idle • Retransmission time0ut • Ignored cue • Max seq is 54 and Last ack is 53 • Obviously 53 was lost
Modification: Slow-start • Use better initial value of ssthresh • Estimated value is better than arbitrary default value • Estimation method • At first, initialize as previous default value (=64 seg) • During 3 ack (= establishing connection) • Least square estimation of bandwidth-delay product • Even if default value is high, CWND not ramp up riskily
Modification: Slow-start • Prevent multiple packet losses during start-up period on severe environment
Modification: Fast retransmit & Fast Recovery #2 Yes, Still in fast retransmit phase • Fast retransmit phase • Setup • set ssthresh = ½ cwnd • cwnd = 1 segment • snd_next = snd_una • (2) set snd_high = snd_max • save_cwnd = ssthresh + 1 segment Retransmit (3) send using slow start algorithm (4) allow congestion window to increase as long as congestion window <= save_cwnd (5) do not start a new fast retransmit phase (6) upon receiving 2 duplicate ACK’s, send out 1 new packet beyond snd_high Seq number ACKed < snd_high Upon receiving 3 duplicate ACK’s begin fast restransmit Phase No cwnd=save_cwnd
Modification: Fast retransmit & Fast Recovery #3 • Modified algorithm can handle multiple packet losses
Simulation Environment • Bottle-neck link HOST 1 Switch1 Switch2 HOST 2 10Mbps 1600Kbps 10Mbps 50ms delay
Simulation result - original • Multiple packet losses occurred during start-up period
Simulation result – improved • Graph show new algorithm is better than original algorithm
Conclusion • Proposes several possible changes to improve the start-up behavior of the congestion control scheme. • Estimated ssthresh value. • Modification Fast retransmit algorithm. • Tested in simulations and over real network. • These changes can significantly improve TCP’s performanceduringstart-up period • Byeliminating the wait for unnecessary timeout • These changes arenoticeable inshort TCP data transfers
