151. Can TCP Metastability Explain Cascading Failures and Justify Flow Admission Control in the Internet?
Topic: Cybersecurity
Published: 6/2/2008
Author: Vladimir V Marbukh
Abstract: This paper discusses implications of possible metastability of TCP-type fair bandwidth sharing under random flow arrivals/departures for understanding and defending the Internet against cascading failures.  Cascading failures can be viewed as a ...

159. Metastability of Fair Bandwidth Sharing Under Fluctuating Demand and Necessity of Flow Admission control
Topic: Cybersecurity
Published: 9/17/2007
Author: Vladimir V Marbukh
Abstract: A flow-level Markov model for fair bandwidth sharing with packet retransmissions under random flow arrivals/departures is proposed and discussed. Fluctuations in the numbers of flows in progress cause the network instability even under light load. Th ...

160. Fair Bandwidth Sharing Under Flow Arrivals/Departures: Effect of Retransmissions on Stability and Performance
Topic: Cybersecurity
Published: 9/1/2007
Author: Vladimir V Marbukh
Abstract: A flow-level Markov model for fair bandwidth sharing with packet retransmissions and random flow arrivals/departures is proposed. The model accounts for retransmissions by assuming that file transfer rates are determined by the end-to-end goodputs ra ...
