Approaches towards congestion control
End-end congestion control
no explicit feedback from network
congestion inferred from end-system observed loss delay
approach taken by TCP
Network-assisted congestion control
routers provide feedback to end systems single bit indicating
congestion (SNA DECbit TCPIP ECN ATM)
explicit rate sender should send at
Two broad approaches towards congestion control
Transport Layer 3-9
Case study ATM ABR congestion control
ABR available bit rate
ldquoelastic servicerdquo if senderrsquos path
ldquounderloadedrdquo sender should use
available bandwidth if senderrsquos path
congested sender throttled to
minimum guaranteed rate
RM (resource management) cells
sent by sender interspersed with data cells
bits in RM cell set by switches (ldquonetwork-assistedrdquo) NI bit no increase in rate
(mild congestion) CI bit congestion
indication RM cells returned to sender
by receiver
Transport Layer 3-10
Case study ATM ABR congestion control
two-byte ER (explicit rate) field in RM cell congested switch may lower ER value in cell senderrsquo send rate thus minimum supportable rate on
path

minCongWinRcvWindow Roughly
How does sender perceive congestion
loss event = timeout or 3 duplicate acks
TCP sender reduces rate (CongWin) after loss event
three mechanisms AIMD slow start conservative after
timeout events
rate = CongWin

TCP Slow Start
When connection begins CongWin = 1 MSS Example MSS = 500
bytes amp RTT = 200 msec
initial rate = 20 kbps
available bandwidth may be gtgt MSSRTT desirable to quickly
ramp up to respectable rate
When connection begins increase rate exponentially fast until first loss event
Transport Layer 3-15

When connection begins increase rate exponentially until first loss event double CongWin every
RTT done by incrementing CongWin for every ACK received

Refinement After 3 dup ACKs
CongWin is cut in half window then grows linearly
But after timeout event CongWin instead set to 1 MSS window then grows exponentially to a threshold then grows linearly

Summary TCP Congestion Control
When CongWin is below Threshold sender in slow-start phase window grows exponentially
When CongWin is above Threshold sender is in congestion-avoidance phase window grows linearly
When a triple duplicate ACK occurs Threshold set to CongWin2 and CongWin set to Threshold
When timeout occurs Threshold set to CongWin2 and CongWin is set to 1 MSS
Transport Layer 3-19
TCP sender congestion control
Event State TCP Sender Action Commentary
ACK receipt for previously unacked data
Slow Start (SS)
CongWin = CongWin + MSS If (CongWin gt Threshold) set state to ldquoCongestion Avoidancerdquo
Resulting in a doubling of CongWin every RTT
ACK receipt for previously unacked data
CongestionAvoidance (CA)
CongWin = CongWin+MSS (MSSCongWin)
Additive increase resulting in increase of CongWin by 1 MSS every RTT
Loss event detected by triple duplicate ACK
SS or CA Threshold = CongWin2 CongWin = ThresholdSet state to ldquoCongestion Avoidancerdquo
Fast recovery implementing multiplicative decrease CongWin will not drop below 1 MSS
Timeout SS or CA Threshold = CongWin2 CongWin = 1 MSSSet state to ldquoSlow Startrdquo
Enter slow start
Duplicate ACK
SS or CA Increment duplicate ACK count for segment being acked
CongWin and Threshold not changed

TCP throughput
Whatrsquos the average throughout at TCP as a function of window size and RTT Ignore slow start
Let W be the window size when loss occurs
When window is W throughput is WRTT Just after loss window drops to W2
throughput to W2RTT Average throughout 75 WRTT
Transport Layer 3-21
TCP Futures
Example 1500 byte segments 100ms RTT want 10 Gbps throughput
Requires window size W = 83333 in-flight segments

When CongWin is above Threshold sender is in congestion-avoidance phase window grows linearly
When a triple duplicate ACK occurs Threshold set to CongWin2 and CongWin set to Threshold
When timeout occurs Threshold set to CongWin2 and CongWin is set to 1 MSS
