Abstract |
Due to the recent trends in Internet, for exchange of information in the form of pure data traffic and multi-media traffic, High-speed network is necessary. As there is a growing demand for high-speed networks, data transfer must take place without any congestion. In data networking and queueing theory, Network congestion occurs when a link or node is carrying so much data that its quality of service deteriorates. Typical effects include queueing delay, packet loss or the blocking of new connections. A consequence of these latter two is that incremental increases in offered load lead either only to small increase in network throughput, or to an actual reduction in network throughput. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite. TCP has not performed well on high-speed network because the standard TCP’s algorithm for congestion control may cause thousands of packet drops in one Round Trip Time (RTT) and the window size is halved at the time of congestion. So the utilization of the bandwidth and throughput is minimized. The researchers developed different TCP variants to improve the performance of the congestion control algorithms in high-speed network. In this paper we propose a sequence of algorithms based on window adjustment, feedback mechanism and buffer management to overcome the limitations for high-speed network. The congestion control mechanism that we adopt starts with Queue Management, which enables to modify and control the transmission queue. The Window Adjustment Mechanism alters the Congestion window size based on the Input load. The Feedback mechanism renders the optimum load that can be serviced currently when congestion had taken place. Also the feedback information is notified to the sender. This solution to control the congestion in the network achieves maximum throughput and bandwidth utilization, with minimum delay and drop probability. The performance of the congestion window, throughput, utilization of the bandwidth, delay are analyzed and presented. |
