Abstract

Internet traffic is currently dominated by transfers that use variants of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). It is therefore crucial to be able to analyze the performance of TCP over new network architectures and protocols. The sending rate of commonly used TCP protocols is tightly coupled to packet loss within the network: a high rate of packet loss will cause a sender to slow down, thereby reducing the network load and decreasing subsequent packet loss rates. We introduce a fixed-point method that incorporates TCP’s feedback mechanism and can be used to accurately compute the expected steady-state TCP input rate in Optical Burst Switched networks.
