Transport Layer




Provide a way to decide which packets go to
which applications (multiplexing/demultiplexing)
Can provide more reliability, in order delivery, at
most once delivery
Can support messages of arbitrary length
Govern when hosts should send data  can
implement congestion and flow control
Katz, Stoica F04

UDP







User Datagram Protocol
Minimalist transport protocol
Same best-effort service model as IP
Messages up to 64KB
Provides multiplexing/demultiplexing to IP
Does not provide flow and congestion control
Application examples: video/audio streaming
Katz, Stoica F04



Transmission Control Protocol
Reliable, in-order, and at most once delivery
Messages can be of arbitrary length
Provides multiplexing/demultiplexing to IP
Provides congestion control and avoidance
Application examples: file transfer, chat
Katz, Stoica F04

TCP Service
1)
2)
Open connection
Reliable byte stream transfer from
(IPa, TCP Port1) to (IPb, TCP Port2)
•
3)
Indication if connection fails: Reset
Close connection
Katz, Stoica F04

Flow Control vs. Congestion Control



Flow control: regulates how much data can a
sender send without overflowing the receiver
Congestion control: regulates how much data
can a sender send without congesting the
network
Congestion: dropping packets into the network
due to buffer overflow at routers
Katz, Stoica F04
8
Congestion Window (cwnd)

Limits how much data can be in transit, i.e., how many
unacknowledged bytes can the sender send
AdvertisedWindow is used for flow control
MaxWindow = min(cwnd, AdvertisedWindow)
EffectiveWindow = MaxWindow – (LastByteSent – LastByteAcked)
LastByteAcked
LastByteSent
sequence number increases

Why do You Care About Congestion
Control?


Otherwise you get to congestion collapse
How might this happen?
- Assume network is congested (a router drops packets)
- You learn the receiver didn’t get the packet
• Either by ACK or Timeout
- What do you do?
- Retransmit packet
- Still receiver didn’t get the packet (because it is dropped again)
- Retransmit again
- …. and so on …
- And now assume that everyone is doing the same!

Network will become more and more congested
- And this with duplicate packets rather than new packets!
Katz, Stoica F04
11
Solutions?


Increase buffer size. Why not?
Slow down
- If you know that your packets are not delivered because
network congestion, slow down

Questions:
- How do you detect network congestion? Use packet
loss as indication!
- By how much do you slow down?
Katz, Stoica F04 12
TCP: Slow Start


Goal: discover congestion quickly
How?
- Quickly increase cwnd until network congested  get a
rough estimate of the optimal size of cwnd:
- Whenever starting traffic on a new connection, or
whenever increasing traffic after congestion was
experienced:
• Set cwnd =1
• Each time a segment is acknowledged increment
cwnd by one (cwnd++).
Katz, Stoica F04 13
Slow Start Example


The congestion
window size
grows very
rapidly
TCP slows down
the increase of
cwnd when
cwnd >=
ssthresh
cwnd = 1
cwnd = 2
cwnd = 3
cwnd = 4
cwnd =
8
Katz, Stoica F04 14
Congestion Avoidance



Additive increase: starting from the rough estimate,
slowly increase cwnd to probe for additional available
bandwidth
Multiplicative decrease: cut congestion window size
aggressively if a timeout occurs
If cwnd > ssthresh then
each time a segment is acknowledged
increment cwnd by 1/cwnd (cwnd += 1/cwnd).
Katz, Stoica F04 15
Slow Start/Congestion Avoidance
Example
cwnd = 1

Assume that
ssthresh = 8
cwnd = 2
cwnd = 4

Katz, Stoica F04 16
Putting Everything Together:
TCP Pseudocode
Initially:
cwnd = 1;
ssthresh = infinite;
New ack received:
if (cwnd < ssthresh)
/* Slow Start*/
cwnd = cwnd + 1;
else
/* Congestion Avoidance */
cwnd = cwnd + 1/cwnd;
Timeout:
/* Multiplicative decrease */
ssthresh = cwnd/2;
cwnd = 1;

Packet Loss Detection




Wait for Retransmission Time Out (RTO)
What’s the problem with this?
Because RTO is performance killer
In the BSD TCP implementation, RTO is usually
more than 1 second
- The granularity of RTT estimate is 500 ms
- Retransmission timeout is at least two times RTT

Solution: Don’t wait for RTO to expire
Katz, Stoica F04 19
Fast Retransmit

Resend a segment
after 3 duplicate ACKs
- Remember, a duplicate
ACK means that an outof sequence segment
was received

cwnd = 1
cwnd = 2
cwnd = 4
Notes:
- Duplicate ACKs due 3 duplicate
ACKs
packet reordering!
- If window is small don’t
get duplicate ACKs!
Katz, Stoica F04 20
Fast Recovery

After a fast-retransmit set cwnd to ssthresh/2
- i.e., don’t reset cwnd to 1


But when RTO expires still do cwnd = 1
Fast Retransmit and Fast Recovery 
implemented by TCP Reno; most widely used
version of TCP today

Fast Retransmit and Fast Recovery

Fast retransmit

Time
Retransmit after 3 duplicated acks
- Prevent expensive timeouts


No need to slow start again
At steady state, cwnd oscillates around the
optimal cwnd size
Katz, Stoica F04 22
TCP Flavors

TCP-Tahoe
- cwnd =1 whenever drop is detected

TCP-Reno
- cwnd =1 on timeout
- cwnd = cwnd/2 on dupack

TCP-newReno
- TCP-Reno + improved fast recovery

TCP-Vegas, TCP-SACK
Katz, Stoica F04 23
TCP Vegas

Improved timeout mechanism

Decrease cwnd only for losses sent at current rate
- Avoids reducing rate twice

Congestion avoidance phase:
-
Compare Actual rate (A) to Expected rate (E)
If E-A > , decrease cwnd linearly
If E-A < , increase cwnd linearly
Rate measurements ~ delay measurements
See textbook for details!
Katz, Stoica F04 24
TCP-SACK

SACK = Selective Acknowledgements

ACK packets identify exactly which packets have
arrived

Makes recovery from multiple losses much easier

- Usually implemented at output interface of a router

management
Katz, Stoica F04 27
Goals of Packet Scheduling



Provide per flow/aggregate QoS guarantees in terms of
delay and bandwidth
Provide per flow/aggregate protection
Flow/Aggregate identified by a subset of following fields in
the packet header
-

source/destination IP address (32 bits)
source/destination port number (16 bits)
protocol type (8 bits)
type of service (8 bits)
Examples:
-
All packets from machine A to machine B
All packets from Berkeley
All packets between Berkeley and MIT
All TCP packets from EECS-Berkeley
Katz, Stoica F04 28
Random Early Detection (RED)

Basic premise:
- Router should signal congestion when the queue first
starts building up (by dropping a packet)
- But router should give flows time to reduce their
sending rates before dropping more packets

Therefore, packet drops should be:
- Early: don’t wait for queue to overflow
- Random: don’t drop all packets in burst, but space
drops out
Katz, Stoica F04 29
RED Advantages

High network utilization with low delays

Average queue length small, but capable of absorbing
large bursts

Many refinements to basic algorithm make it more
adaptive (requires less tuning)
Katz, Stoica F04 30
Explicit Congestion Notification

Rather than drop packets to signal congestion,
router can send an explicit signal

Explicit congestion notification (ECN):
- Instead of optionally dropping packet, router sets a bit in
the packet header
- If data packet has bit set, then ACK has ECN bit set

Backward compatibility:
- Bit in header indicates if host implements ECN
- Note that not all routers need to implement ECN
Katz, Stoica F04 31
ECN Advantages

No need for retransmitting optionally dropped
packets

No confusion between congestion losses and
corruption losses


Parameters
- r – average rate, i.e., rate at which tokens fill the bucket
- b – bucket depth
- R – maximum link capacity or peak rate (optional parameter)


A bit is transmitted only when there is an available token
Arrival curve – maximum number of bits transmitted within an
interval of time of size t

QoS Guarantees: Per-hop Reservation

End-host: specify
- the arrival rate characterized by token-bucket with parameters (b,r,R)
- the maximum maximum admissible delay D, no losses

Router: allocate bandwidth ra and buffer space Ba such that
- no packet is dropped
- no packet experiences a delay larger than D

Katz, Stoica F04 37
Packet Scheduling and
Fair Queuing



Make sure that at any time the flow receives at
least the allocated rate ra
The canonical example of such scheduler:
Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ)
Implements max-min fairness: each flow receives
min(ri, f) , where
- ri – flow arrival rate
- f – link fair rate (see next slide)

Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ) – associate a
weight with each flow
Katz, Stoica F04 38
Fluid Flow System: Example

link
Red flow has packets
backlogged between time 0
and 10
- Backlogged flow  flow’s
queue not empty


flows
weights
Other flows have packets
continuously backlogged
All packets have the same size

Katz, Stoica F04 41
Solution: Virtual Time

Key Observation: while the finish times of packets may
change when a new packet arrives, the order in which
packets finish doesn’t!
- Only the order is important for scheduling

Solution: instead of the packet finish time maintain the
number of rounds needed to send the remaining bits of
the packet (virtual finishing time)
- Virtual finishing time doesn’t change when the packet arrives

System virtual time – index of the round in the bit-by-bit
round robin scheme

Properties of WFQ

Guarantee that any packet is transmitted within
packet_lengt/link_capacity of its transmission time
in the fluid flow system
- Can be used to provide guaranteed services

Achieve max-min fair allocation
- Can be used to protect well-behaved flows against
malicious flows
Katz, Stoica F04 44

(RED) Mechanisms
Fluid Model and Token Bucket method
Essential DiffServ and IntServ Concepts
Katz, Stoica F04 46
Differentiated Services

Some traffic should get better treatment
- Application requirements: interactive vs. bulk transfer
- Economic arrangements: first-class versus coach

What kind of better service could you give?
- Measured by drops, or delay (and drops)

How do you know which packets to give better service?
- Bits in packet header
Katz, Stoica F04 47
Advantages of DiffServ

Very simple to implement

Can be applied at different granularities
- Flows
- Institutions
- Traffic types

Marking can be done at edges or by hosts

Allows easy peering (bilateral SLAs)
Katz, Stoica F04 48
Disadvantages of DiffServ

Service is still “best effort”, just a “better” class of
best effort
- Except for EF, which has terrible efficiency
- All traffic accepted (within SLAs)

Some applications need better than this
- Certainly some apps need better service than today’s
Internet delivers
- But perhaps if DiffServ were widely deployed premium
traffic would get great service (recall example)
Katz, Stoica F04 49
Integrated Services

Attempt to integrate service for “real-time”
applications into the Internet

Known as IntServ

Total, massive, and humiliating failure
- 1000s of papers
- IETF standards
- and STILL no deployment ...
Katz, Stoica F04 50
Resource Reservation Protocol:
RSVP





Establishes end-to-end reservations over a
datagram network
Designed for multicast (which will be covered
later)
Sources: send TSpec
Receivers: respond with RSpec Network
Network: responds to reservation requests
Katz, Stoica F04 51
Advantages of IntServ

Precise QoS delivered at flow granularities
- Good service, given exactly to who needs it

Decisions made by hosts
- Who know what they need
- Not by organizations, egress/ingress points, etc.

Fits multicast and unicast traffic equally well
Katz, Stoica F04 52
Disadvantages of IntServ

Scalability: per-flow state, classification, etc.
-

Goofed big time
Aggregation/encapsulation techniques can help
Can overprovision big links, per-flow ok on small links
Scalability can be fixed, but no second chance
Economic arrangements:
- Need sophisticated settlements between ISPs
- Right now, settlements are primitive (barter)

User charging mechanisms: need QoS pricing
Katz, Stoica F04 53
What You Need to Know

Three kinds of QoS approaches
- Link sharing, DiffServ, IntServ

Some basic concepts:
-

Differentiated dropping versus service priority
Per-flow QoS (IntServ) versus per-aggregate QoS (DiffServ)
Admission control: parameter versus measurement
Control plane versus data plane
Controlled load versus guaranteed service
Codepoints versus explicit signaling
Various mechanisms:
- Playback points
- Token bucket
- RSVP PATH/RESV messages
