Abstract

We design and evaluate an adaptive traffic conditioner to improve application performance over the differentiated services assured forwarding behavior. The conditioner is adaptive because the marking algorithm changes based upon the current number of flows traversing through an edge router. If there are a small number of flows, the conditioner maintains and uses state information to intelligently protect critical TCP packets. On the other hand, if there are many flows going through the edge router, the conditioner only uses flow characteristics as indicated in the TCP packet headers to mark without requiring per flow state. Simulation results indicate that this adaptive conditioner improves throughput of data extensive applications like large FTP transfers, and achieves low packet delays and response times for Telnet and WWW traffic
