博士論文摘要
In this dissertation, we present performance prediction models for rate-based and window–based flow control mechanisms. For rate-based flow control, such as in ATM network, we derive two analytical models to predict the ACR rates for congestion-free and heavy congestion networks, respectively. To coordinate the cooperative problems of TCP over ATM networks, we propose a new algorithm to monitor the states of ATM switches and adjust TCP congestion window size based on RM cells.
For window-based flow control mechanisms, such as in TCP-Reno and TCP-SACK, we respectively present analytical models to systematically capture the characteristics of multiple consecutive packet losses in TCP windows. Through fast retransmission, the lost packets may or may not be recovered. Thus, w e present upper bound analyses for slow start and congestion avoidance phases to study the effects of multiple packet losses on TCP performance . Above the proposed upper bounds, the lost packets may not be successfully recovered through fast retransmission. Finally, we develop a model to study the TCP performance in terms of throughput degradation resulted from multiple consecutive packet losses. The analytical results from the throughput degradation model are validated through OPNET simulation.
