Estimating loss rates with the packet traces captured from some point in the middle of the network has received much attention within the research community. Meanwhile, existing intermediate-point methods like [1] require the capturing system to capture all the TCP traffic that crosses the border of an access network (typically Gigabit network) destined to or coming from the Internet. However, limited to the performance of current hardware and software, capturing network traffic in a Gigabit environment is still a challenging task. The uncaptured packets will affect the total number of captured packets and the estimated number of packet losses, which eventually affects the accuracy of the estimated loss rate. Therefore, to obtain more accurate loss rate, a method of strengthening packet loss measurement from the network intermediate point is proposed in this paper. Through constructing a series of heuristic rules and leveraging the binomial distribution principle, the proposed method realizes the compensation for the estimated loss rate. Also, experiment results show that although there is no increase in the proportion of accurate estimates, the compensation makes the majority of estimates closer to the accurate ones.

“…ConClone is based on the Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP), which can maintain multiple connections simultaneously through multiple interfaces [ 10 ]. Multiple interfaces used in MPTCP can use different frequency bands or combine different interfaces (e.g., UWB + Wi-Fi, LTE + Bluetooth and wireless + wired) to avoid channel collisions or interference.…”

Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been applied to various applications. In order to perform repetitive and accurate tasks with a UAV, it is more efficient for the operator to perform the tasks through an integrated management program rather than controlling the UAVs one by one through a controller. In this environment, control packets must be reliably delivered to the UAV to perform missions stably. However, wireless communication is at risk of packet loss or packet delay. Typical network communications can respond to situations in which packets are lost by retransmitting lost packets. However, in the case of UAV control, delay due to retransmission is fatal, so control packet loss and delay should not occur. As UAVs move quickly, there is a high risk of accidents if control packets are lost or delayed. In order to stably control a UAV by transmitting control messages, we propose a control packet transmission scheme, ConClone. ConClone replicates control packets and then transmits them over multiple network connections to increase the probability of successful control packet transmission. We implemented ConClone using real equipment, and we verified its performance through experiments and theoretical analysis.

“…In this communication mode, when multiple flows, concurrently injecting traffic to the bottleneck link is more likely to cause a large number of packets to overflow from the bottleneck buffer pool. Some lost packets cannot be read and retransmitted for recovery in this mode, causing a large number of timeout retransmissions [10]. By default, the timeout retransmission time is a minimum of 200 milliseconds [11], which is much larger than the round-trip propagation delay in the data center network.…”

The multi-home host will become increasingly popular within IPv6, especially in data center Fat-tree networks. MPTCP protocol is designed to transmit over multipath load, providing users with transparent multi-path utilization and high data transmission rate. As the characteristics of Many-to-one pattern and a large number of short bursts, all of flows collide on the shared link and same output port, creating an inevitable bottleneck collapse during transmission process. In order to avoid the collapse of throughput and improve the throughput of the receiving end, the MPTCP protocol in the data center network should have the characteristics of minimal packet loss and rapid convergence. In this paper, we focus on throughput collapse avoidance and design a MPTCP Transmission Control method based Queuing Cache Balance Factor called QCBF in Multi-homed FatTree topology. This method can realize the sub-flows are allocated by the size of ToRs cluster cache. We first propose a buffer pool balance factor and build a ToRs cluster cache balance queue. Then according to ToRs cluster cache allocation to calculate a sub-flow congestion window value. QCBF not only avoids the MPTCP Incast problem effectively, but also makes full use of the aggregate bandwidth. Based the software NS3, the experiment results of experiment show the QCBF transmission control method could avoid loss of packet, and achieve the load balance of MPTCP data transmission.
