Small-Buffer Networks

by Mark Shifrin, Isaac Keslassy
"... Today, because of TCP dynamics, Internet backbone routers hold large packet buffers, which significantly increase their power consumption and design time. Recent models of large-buffer networks have suggested that these large buffers could be replaced with much smaller ones. Unfortunately, it turns ..."

out that these largebuffer network models are not valid anymore in small-buffer networks, and therefore cannot predict how these small-buffer networks will behave. In this paper, we introduce a new model that provides a complete statistical description of small-buffer Internet networks. We present

Routers with Very Small Buffers

by Mihaela Enachescu, Ashish Goel, Tim Roughgarden, Yashar Ganjali, Nick Mckeown - in IEEE Infocom , 2006
"... Internet routers require buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. The buffers need to be fast, and so ideally they should be small enough to use fast memory technologies such as SRAM or all-optical buffering. Unfortunately, a widely used rule-of-thumb says we need a bandwidth-delay produc ..."

Congestion Control for Small Buffer High Speed Networks

by Yu Gu, Chris V. Hollot, Honggang Zhang - In Proc. of IEEE INFOCOM , 2007
"... Abstract — There is growing interest in designing high speed routers with small buffers that store only tens of packets. Recent studies suggest that TCP NewReno, with the addition of a pacing mechanism, can interact with such routers without sacrificing link utilization. Unfortunately, as we show in ..."

Practical packet pacing in small-buffer networks

by Yan Cai, Y. Sinan Hanay, Tilman Wolf - in ICC ’09 , 2009
"... Abstract—The demand for more bandwidth has lead to pro-posals for an all-optical network core. Due to inherent constraints of optical technology, only routers with small packet buffers are feasible to be implemented. In order to ensure efficient operation of such small-buffer networks, it is necessa ..."

1Enhancing TCP Performance in Networks with Small Buffers

by A. Razdan, R. Wang, M. Y. Sanadidi, M. Gerla
"... Abstract—TCP performance can be significantly affected when the buffer capacity at the routers is small. This is possible either because many flows share the network or that the bandwidth-delay product is large (e.g. satellite links). The behavior of various ver-sions of TCP with respect to buffer c ..."

Stability and fairness of explicit congestion control with small buffers

by Frank Kelly, Gaurav Raina, Thomas Voice - SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review , 2008
"... Rate control protocols that utilise explicit feedback from routers are able to achieve fast convergence to an equilibrium which approximates processor-sharing on a single bottleneck link, and hence such protocols allow short flows to complete quickly. For a network, however, processor-sharing is not ..."
Abstract - Cited by 10 (1 self) - Add to MetaCart
-sharing is not uniquely defined but corresponds with a choice of fairness criteria, and proportional fairness has a reasonable claim to be the network generalization of processor-sharing. In this paper, we develop a variant of RCP (rate control protocol) that achieves α-fairness when buffers are small, including
