Performance Comparison of TCP Implementations in QoS Provisioning Networks
Summary :
Over the future Internet, the real time communication generating such as CBR (Constant Bit Rate) traffic will widely spread, whereas the current Internet has no ability to provide QoS (Quality of Service) assurance for real time communication so far. In QoS networks, CBR traffic will have priority for its stringent QoS requirement over non-real time traffic such as TCP connections, which use the unused bandwidth left by CBR connections. Therefore, there is possibility that CBR traffic with priority causes TCP throughput degradation in QoS networks. For this reason, the performance of Tahoe TCP has been examined in that context, but other TCP variants such as Reno TCP, NewReno TCP and TCP with SACK option, which are now very common, have not yet been investigated clearly. In the present research, we will clarify how these TCP variants behave in QoS networks by means of simulations and compare their performance. From the results, SACK TCP can adapt very well to the changing bandwidth available and is very robust against the fluctuation, i.e., burstness, of CBR packet arrival process.
