•Data transfer



Reliable data transfer

•What are the differences with the reliable protocols of the datalink layer ?

•Segments can be reordered

•Buffers can change dynamically

•Bytestream service

Retransmission policies

•Which retransmission policy in reliable transport protocols ?

•Alternating Bit

•Go-back-n

•Selective repeat

Buffer management

•A transport entity serves a variable number of applications with a limited buffer

•The buffer/window allocated to a given connection may need to change dynamically as connections start and stop

•How to deal with them ?

•Packets cannot live more than MSL seconds inside the network

•Only one segment carrying sequence number x can be transmitted during MSL seconds

•Data transfer



Connection release

•Graceful release

•Data transfer is finished and connection must be terminated

•Abrupt release

•Something went wrong and the connection must be closed immediately

•Data can be lost !

Agenda



•Which resources need to be shared

•Medium Access Control

•Congestion Control

Network resources

•What are the resources that are shared by multiple users inside a network ?

Sharing bandwidth

•Several nodes on a single link

Agenda






How to share access to a link ?

•Deterministic solutions

•Probabilistic solutions

Time Division Multiplexing

ALOHA

The collision problem

AB

collision

Medium Access Control : ALOHAN=1;while ( N<= max) do

send frame;wait for ack on return channel or timeout:if ack on return channel

exit while;else

/* timeout *//* retransmission is needed */N=N+1;

end do/* too many attempts */

CSMA

•Key idea

•Listen to the link before transmitting and only transmit when nobody else transmits

CSMA/CD•Key idea

•Listen to link before transmitting

•Detect collisions

•If a collision occurs, stop transmitting

•Caveat

•Is it possible to detect all collisions ?

CSMA/CA

•Key idea

•In wireless networks, we need to avoid collisions by deferring transmissions

•Possibility of “reserving” transmission slots

Agenda






Adapting to different

bandwidth

Self-clocking

The congestion problem

Fairness

•What is the final objective of congestion control ?

•On a single link

•Fair share

•In a large network

•Max-min fairness

Max-min fairness•a max-min allocation of bandwidth is an allocation of bandwidth which maximises the allocation of bandwidth to the sources receiving the smallest allocation

•a max-min fair allocation is such that in order to increase the bandwidth allocated to one source, it is necessary to decrease the bandwidth allocated to another source which already receives a lower allocation

Congestion control

Congestion control•Additive Increase / Multiplicative

Decrease

# Additive Increase Multiplicative Decreaseif congestion : rate=rate*betaC # MD, betaC<1else rate=rate+alphaN # AI

How to detect congestion ?

•Router-based solutions
