A Method of Bandwidth Dimensioning and Management Using Flow Statistics
Summary :
We develop a method of dimensioning and managing the bandwidth of a link on which TCP flows from access links are aggregated. To do this, we extend the application of the processor-sharing queue model to TCP performance evaluation by using flow statistics. To handle various factors that affect actual TCP behavior, such as round-trip time, window-size, and restrictions other than access-link bandwidth, we extend the model by replacing the access-link bandwidth with the actual file-transfer speed of a flow when the aggregation link is not congested. We only use the number of active flows and the link utilization to estimate the file-transfer speed. Unlike previous studies, the extended model based on the actual transfer speed does not require any assumptions/predeterminations about file-size, packet-size, and round-trip times, etc. Using the extended model, we predict the TCP performance when the link utilization increases. We also show a method of dimensioning the bandwidth needed to maintain TCP performance. We show the effectiveness of our method through simulation analysis.

Unlike previous studies, the extended model based on the actual transfer speed does not require any assumptions/predeterminations about file-size, packet-size, and round-trip times, etc. Using the extended model, we predict the TCP performance when the link utilization increases. We also show a method of dimensioning the bandwidth needed to maintain TCP performance. We show the effectiveness of our method through simulation analysis.
