| Abstract | We study a typical network environment where TCP traffic is generated from a source connected to a LAN (e.g. Ethernet) aggregated through an IP edge router to an access network (e.g. ATM, frame relay). Congestion at the edge router occurs when the bandwidth available in the access network cannot support the aggregated traffic generated from the LAN. This paper presents a novel approach to reduce router congestion and improve TCP performance. In particular, we propose new techniques that regulate TCP acknowledgments at the edge router without changing existing TCP implementations at the end systems. Our techniques minimize buffer requirement at network edges while maximizing throughput. Analytical and simulation results are presented in this paper to substantiate our claims. 1. Introduction Most Internet data applications today use TCP as the transport layer protocol. Since the Internet is becoming increasingly heterogeneous, most TCP traffic traverses a wide range of networks with dif... |
