“…Examples of heuristic schemes are RED [6], gentle RED (GRED) [11], adaptive RED (ARED) [12], parabola RED [13], hyperbola RED (HRED) [14], dynamic RED [15], flow RED [16], stabilized RED [17], balanced RED [18], BLUE [19], Yellow [20] etc. These algorithms aimed to improve some or all of the features, such as fairness, stability, network utilization, packet loss and adaptability for different traffic loads.…”

Abstract:With the advancement of the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network and smart-phones, most of today's internet content is delivered via cellular links. Due to the nature of wireless signal propagation, the capacity of the last hop link can vary within a short period of time. Unfortunately, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) does not perform well in such scenarios, potentially leading to poor Quality of Service (QoS) (e.g., end-to-end throughput and delay) for the end user. In this work, we have studied the effect of Active Queue Management (AQM) based congestion control and intra LTE handover on the performance of different Medium Access Control (MAC) schedulers with TCP traffic by ns3 simulation. A proper AQM design in the Radio Link Control (RLC) buffer of eNB in the LTE network leads to the avoidance of forced drops and link under-utilization along with robustness to a variety of network traffic-loads. We first demonstrate that the original Random Early Detection (RED) linear dropping function cannot cope well with different traffic-load scenarios. Then, we establish a heuristic approach in which different non-linear functions are proposed with one parameter free to define. In our simulations, we demonstrate that the performance of different schedulers can be enhanced via proper dropping function.

“…In other words, it performed downstream network traffic shaping and implemented what we have denoted in this paper as inbound service provision. This packet processing chain was retained, in its original capacity, in the NIProxy's current software architecture 2 . We therefore would like to refer the reader to our previous work [12] for a comprehensive discussion of the chain's exact mode of operation and refrain ourselves in this paper to a succinct review of the responsibilities of the main software components it links together.…”

“…Work in the network traffic shaping context is however not limited to theoretical research. Interesting examples of concrete systems and frameworks include the Exact Bandwidth Distribution Scheme (X-BDS) [6] and the bandwidth sharing algorithm presented in [2]. The NIProxy's multimedia service provision mechanism on the other hand is largely related to the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm and hence shares many of its underlying principles and resulting advantages [10].…”

Adequate and resource-efficient support for multimedia communication in transportation networks is rapidly gaining importance. At the same time, computer networks are being faced with increasing degrees of diversity, for instance in terms of client terminal specifications. We are therefore convinced that any next-generation network should be able to successfully address both these issues. This paper reports on our continued development of the NIProxy, a network intermediary which strives to improve the features and performance of IP-based networks with regard to multimedia communication in an attempt to optimize the experience provided to users of distributed applications. In particular, we describe how the NIProxy system was extended with support for upstream network traffic shaping as well as outbound multimedia service provision. The implications of these enhancements are discussed and we demonstrate and validate, through experimental evaluation, the new possibilities they entail and their added value in terms of user experience optimization.

“…Interesting work in this BB context includes, for instance, the GARA architecture [2], the ARM approach [3], the transcoding protocol described in [4] and the QoS management framework proposed in [5]. Examples of network resource management in network architectures other than DiffServ are for instance presented in [6], [7], [8] and [9]. The NIProxy distinguishes itself from these approaches in that the latter are concerned with Quality of Service (QoS) provision (i.e.…”

Abstract-Managing client downstream bandwidth is an issue that is rapidly gaining in importance due to the increasing extent to which multimedia content is being exploited in networked applications. Depending on its characteristics, this multimedia content is exchanged in either a real-time or non real-time manner. In this paper, we present the NIProxy, a network intermediary which introduces different types of intelligence in the transportation network in an attempt to improve the Quality of Experience (QoE) provided to users of networked applications. In particular, we concentrate on the NIProxy's bandwidth distribution functionality and we report on how support for non realtime network traffic was incorporated through the adoption of buffering as well as rate control techniques. Using representative experimental results, we demonstrate the NIProxy's capability to successfully manage client downstream bandwidth in the presence of both real-time and non real-time network traffic. In addition, the presented experimental results are compared to the default scenario in which the NIProxy is not involved, revealing a considerable improvement in the user's QoE in case the NIProxy's bandwidth management functionality is leveraged.
