An analytical model of a new packet marking algorithm for TCP flows: Preliminary insights
In differentiated services networks, packet marking schemes can be devised to differentiate packets belonging to a same TCP flow, with the goal of improving the experienced performance. This paper presents an analytical model for an adaptive packet marking scheme proposed in our previous work. The model combines three specific sub-models aimed at describing i) the TCP sources aggregate ii) the marker, and iii) the network status. Some preliminary simulative results seem to validate the model.
Is TCP Packet Reordering Always Harmful?
IP networks do not provide any guarantee that packets belonging to the same flow are delivered in the correct order. Out-of-order reception of packets was commonly considered due to pathological network conditions (such as link failures, etc.). However, it has been shown that packet reordering is a phenomenon which occurs even in normal network operation, due to a number of link-level and/or router-level implementation features, such as local parallelism and load balancing. Packet reordering is intuitively considered as a negative phenomenon, which may severely affect TCP traffic performance since it is expected to cause inefficient usage of the available link bandwidth and is expected to i…

An analytical model of a new packet marking algorithm for TCP flows
In Differentiated Services networks, packets may receive a different treatment according to their Differentiateo Services Code Point (DSCP) label. As a consequence, packet marking schemes can also be devised to differentiate packets belonging to a same TCP flow, with the goal of improving the performance experienced. This paper presents an analytical model for an adaptive packet marking scheme proposed in our previous work. The model combines three specific sub-models aimed at describing (i) the TCP sources aggregate, (ii) the marker, and (iii) the network status. Preliminary simulation results show quite accurate predictions for throughput and average queue occupancy. Besides, the research…
