Principles of Congestion Control
 Congestion: informally: “too many sources
sending too much data too fast for network to
handle”
 Different from flow control!
 Manifestations:


Packet loss (buffer overflow at routers)
Increased end-to-end delays (queuing in router buffers)
 Results in unfairness and poor utilization of
network resources



Resources used by dropped packets (before they were
lost)
Retransmissions
Poor resource allocation at high load
CPSC 441: Review
26
Congestion Control: Approaches
 Goal: Throttle senders as needed to ensure
load on the network is “reasonable”
 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 (e.g., ECN)
 explicit rate sender should send at

probe network for spare capacity
 Drastically reduce rate on congestion
 Windowing: self-clocking
 Other functions: round trip time estimation,
error recovery
for every ACK {
if (W < ssthresh) then W++
else
W += 1/W
}
for every loss {
ssthresh = W/2
W =1
}
(SS)
(CA)
CPSC 441: Review
30
TCP Reno: Fast Recovery
 Objective: prevent `pipe’ from emptying
after fast retransmit
 each
dup ACK represents a packet having left
the pipe (successfully received)
 Let’s enter the “FR/FR” mode on 3 dup ACKs
ssthresh  W/2
retransmit lost packet
W  ssthresh + ndup (window inflation)
Wait till W is large enough; transmit new packet(s)
On non-dup ACK (1 RTT later)
W  ssthresh (window deflation)
enter CA mode

Subnets: Motivation
 The “classful” addressing scheme proposes
that the network portion of a IP address
uniquely identifies one physical network.

Any network with more than 255 hosts needs a
class B address. Class B addresses can get
exhausted before we have 4 billion hosts!
 Take bits from the host number part to
create a “subnet” number.

addressing scheme where x could be 8, 16, or 24
bits. These corrsp to classes A, B, and C resp.

Taxonomy of Multiple Access Control Protocols
Three broad classes:
 Channel Partitioning
divide channel into smaller “pieces” (TDM, FDM,
Code Division Multiple Access)
 allocate piece to node for exclusive use

 Random Access
 channel not divided, allow collisions
 “recover” from collisions
 “Taking turns”
 Nodes take turns, but nodes with more to send
can take longer turns
CPSC 441: Review
50
Random Access Protocols
 When node has packet to send
 transmit at full channel data rate R.
 no a priori coordination among nodes
 two or more transmitting nodes ➜ “collision”,
 random access MAC protocol specifies:
 how to detect collisions
 how to recover from collisions (e.g., via delayed
retransmissions)
 Examples of random access MAC protocols:
 slotted ALOHA
 ALOHA
 CSMA, CSMA/CD, CSMA/CA
CPSC 441: Review
51
CSMA/CD (Collision Detection)
CSMA/CD: carrier sensing, deferral as in CSMA
collisions detected within short time
 colliding transmissions aborted, reducing channel
wastage

 collision detection:
 easy in wired LANs: measure signal strengths,
compare transmitted, received signals
 difficult in wireless LANs: receiver shut off while
transmitting
CPSC 441: Review

Ethernet CSMA/CD algorithm
1. Adaptor receives
4. If adapter detects
datagram from net layer &
another transmission while
creates frame
transmitting, aborts and
sends jam signal
2. If adapter senses channel
idle, it starts to transmit 5. After aborting, adapter
frame. If it senses
enters exponential
channel busy, waits until
backoff: after the mth
channel idle and then
collision, adapter chooses
transmits
a K at random from
{0,1,2,…,2m-1}. Adapter
3. If adapter transmits
waits K·512 bit times and
entire frame without
returns to Step 2
detecting another
transmission, the adapter
is done with frame !

Exponential Backoff:

from {0,1}; delay is K· 512

MM Networking Applications
Classes of MM
applications:
1) Streaming stored
audio and video
2) Streaming live audio
and video
3) Real-time interactive
audio and video
Jitter is the variability
of packet delays within
the same packet stream
Fundamental
characteristics:
 Typically delay
sensitive
end-to-end delay
 delay jitter

 But loss tolerant:
infrequent losses
cause minor glitches
 Antithesis of data

Multimedia Over “Best Effort”
Internet
 TCP/UDP/IP: no guarantees on delay, loss

Today’s multimedia applications implement
functionality at the app. layer to mitigate
(as best possible) effects of delay, loss

How to provide better support
for Multimedia? (1/4)
architecture
for providing QOS guarantees in IP
networks for individual flows
 Fundamental changes in Internet so that
apps can reserve end-to-end bandwidth
 Components of this architecture are
 Integrated services philosophy:
Admission control
 Reservation protocol
 Routing protocol
 Classifier and route selection
 Packet scheduler


Concerns with Intserv (2/4)
 Scalability: signaling, maintaining per-flow router
state difficult with large number of flows
 Flexible Service Models: Intserv has only two
classes. Desire “qualitative” service classes
 E.g., Courier, xPress, and normal mail
 E.g., First, business, and cattle class 
Diffserv approach:
 simple functions in network core, relatively
complex functions at edge routers (or hosts)
 Don’t define define service classes, provide
functional components to build service classes

How to provide better support
for Multimedia? (3/4)
 Challenging to stream large
files (e.g., video) from single
origin server in real time
 Solution: replicate content
at hundreds of servers
throughout Internet
 content downloaded to
CDN servers ahead of
time
 placing content “close” to
user avoids impairments
(loss, delay) of sending
content over long paths
 CDN server typically in
edge/access network
origin server
in North America
CDN distribution node
CDN server
in S. America CDN server
in Europe
CDN server
in Asia

Finally … Examination Format
 Technical Terms – provide technical terms
that best fit a given definition

E.g., A field in IPv4 that provides for error
detection – Checksum
 Some short answer questions
 E.g., Compare and contrast datagram networks
and virtual circuit networks.
 You need to only write main points
 Answer should be as brief as possible
