Queue Length Behavior on Restricted Link Under Bursty Self-similar TCP Traffic

Abstract

The aims of this research are to expand the observation of queueing behavior to explore managing queueing activity for self-similar traffic using the network simulator, and to clarify the causes of different features focusing on the bottleneck link. We attached the Pareto on/off traffic over TCP on ns-2 simulator and observed temporal queue length and congestion window size of TCP on the source node, from which certain properties were extracted. Self-similar property is preserved on the no-restricted bottleneck link even if the congestion window on TCP is consumed on the source node for long-range dependent input. On the other hand, the bursty TCP traffic creates the same consuming pattern for efficient queue resource even if the long-range dependent traffics are generated.
