RESUMO

The efficient utilization of bandwidth in high speed and large delay networks, called high bandwidth-delay product networks (BDP), has become a major challenge. This is due to adjustments of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The High Speed TCP HSTCP): a TCP variant to high BDP networks, employs more aggressive adjustments, allowing scalable bandwidth utilization. The Active Queue Management (AQM) policies monitor the queue length in the routers and notify incipient congestion to TCP source by marking or dropping packets. The congestion control system presents intrinsic feedback nature, where the transmission rates of the sources are adjusted according to the level of congestion inferred by the queue occupancy. The AQM controllers determine the dropping marking probability values to maximize throughput and minimize losses, giving guarantees to stabilize the queue length independent of network conditions. In this work, it is defined HSTCP-H2, an active queue management policy to high BDP networks, which adopt the HSTCP as their transport protocol. Optimal control theory is used to conceive HSTCP-H2. The novelty of the proposed approach lies in consider the delay of the system which allows better use of available resources. Furthermore, in the proposed approach, stability and performance objectives are completely expressed as Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs), thus requiring the solution of a single convex problem for the computation of the controller parameters. Different controllers are derived considering different design goals, which take into ac­count the characteristics of the high bandwidth-delay product networks. The performance produced by different optimal controllers was investigated. The efficacy of the control­ler with the best performance was then compared to the performance of RED policy. The simulation experiments were carried out using topologies with single and multiple bottleneck
