  1. TCP and Congestion Control 1

  2. Congestion Control in TCP • Feedback control mechanism • Using cwnd to control sending rate. cwnd += 1/cwnd for each successful transmission cwnd /= 2 for each packet loss • Slow start and timeout

  3. Fast Retransmission Timeout Slow Start Microscopic View of TCP Behavior

  4. cwnd Packet loss time Slow Start Congestion Avoidance Timeout Slow Start TCP Behavior

  5. Tahoe TCP • Slow start • Congestion avoidance • Fast retransmission • To avoid long delay to detect packet loss • Triple duplicated acks trigger retransmission • Ssthreshold is set to a half of cwnd • Slowstart until cwnd reaches ssthreshold

  6. Reno TCP • Avoid pipe to be empty after packet loss due to slow start. • fast recovery • Entering by a TCP sender after receiving an initial threshold of dup acks. • Cwnd is reduced to a half. • Usable window is inflated to cwnd + ndup. • Exit upon receipt of an ack for new data.

  7. Simulations with one dropped packet

  8. Simulations with two dropped packets

  9. Exit from fast retrans. cwnd=7 Exit from fast retrans. cwnd=3 fast retrans. cwnd=3, ndup=5, uwnd=8 cwnd=7, ndup=13, uwnd=20 Microscopic View cwnd=15 cwnd=8
