Transport services
UDP
• Datagram service
• No congestion control
• No error/loss recovery
• Lightweight
TCP
• Connection oriented service
• Congestion control
• Error/loss recovery
• Heavyweight
UDP
1 ~ 65535 (216-1)
UDP header
≤ 65535 Bytes – 8 Bytes (UDP header) – 20 Bytes (IP header)
Usually smaller to avoid IP fragmentation (e.g., Ethernet MTU 1500 Bytes)
TCP
TCP header
Example TCP states
3-way handshake
4-way handshake
Possible issue: SYN flood attack
Result in large numbers of half-open connections and no new
connections can be made.

ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request)
Go-back-N
Selective repeat
TCP
• Sender & receiver negotiate whether or
not to use Selective Repeat (SACK)
• Can ack up to 4 blocks of contiguous
bytes that receiver got correctly
e.g. [3; 10, 14; 16, 20; 25, 33]
Window control
 Limit the number of packets in the
network to window W
W  MSS
 Source rate =
bps
RTT
 If W too small then rate « capacity
If W too big then rate > capacity
=> congestion
 Adapt W to network (and conditions)
TCP window control
 Receiver flow control
 Avoid overloading receiver
 Set by receiver
 awnd: receiver (advertised) window
 Network congestion control

Infer available network capacity
cwnd: congestion window
 Set W = min (cwnd, awnd)
TCP congestion control
 Source calculates cwnd from indication
of network congestion
 Congestion indications
 Losses
 Delay
 Marks
 Algorithms to calculate cwnd
 Tahoe, Reno, Vegas, …
TCP Congestion Controls
 Tahoe (Jacobson 1988)
 Slow Start
 Congestion Avoidance
 Fast Retransmit
 Reno (Jacobson 1990)
 Fast Recovery
 Vegas (Brakmo & Peterson 1994)
 New Congestion Avoidance

: Slow Start
: Congestion Avoidance
: Threshold
Slow Start
 Start with cwnd = 1 (slow start)
 On each successful ACK increment cwnd
cwnd  cnwd + 1
 Exponential growth of cwnd
each RTT: cwnd  2 x cwnd
 Enter CA when cwnd >= ssthresh
Congestion Avoidance
 Starts when cwnd  ssthresh
 On each successful ACK:
cwnd  cwnd + 1/cwnd
 Linear growth of cwnd
each RTT: cwnd  cwnd + 1
Packet Loss
 Assumption: loss indicates congestion
 Packet loss detected by
 Retransmission TimeOuts (RTO timer)
 Duplicate ACKs (at least 3) (Fast Retransmit)

Fast Retransmit
 Wait for a timeout is quite long
 Immediately retransmits after 3 dupACKs
without waiting for timeout
 Adjusts ssthresh
flightsize = min(awnd, cwnd)
ssthresh  max(flightsize/2, 2)
 Enter Slow Start (cwnd = 1)
Summary: Tahoe
 Basic ideas
 Gently probe network for spare capacity
 Drastically reduce rate on congestion
 Windowing: self-clocking
for every ACK {
if (W < ssthresh) then W++
else W += 1/W
}
for every loss {
ssthresh = W/2
W = 1
}

How to halve W without emptying the pipe?
Fast Recovery
Fast recovery
 Idea: each dupACK represents a packet
having left the pipe (successfully
received)
 Enter FR/FR after 3 dupACKs
 Set ssthresh  max(flightsize/2, 2)
 Retransmit lost packet
 Set cwnd  ssthresh + ndup (window
inflation)
 Wait till W=min(awnd, cwnd) is large
enough; transmit new packet(s)
 On non-dup ACK, set cwnd  ssthresh
(window deflation)
 Enter CA

8 unack’d pkts
 On 3 dupACKs, receiver has packets 2, 4, 6, 8,
cwnd=8, retransmits pkt 1, enter FR/FR
 Next dupACK increment cwnd to 9
 After a RTT, ACK arrives for pkts 1 & 2, exit
FR/FR, cwnd=5, 8 unack’ed pkts
 No more ACK, sender must wait for timeout
New Reno
Fall & Floyd ‘96, (RFC 2583)
 Motivation: multiple losses within a window
 Partial ACK takes Reno out of FR, deflates
window
 Sender may have to wait for timeout before
proceeding
 Idea: partial ACK indicates lost packets
 Stays in FR/FR and retransmits immediately
 Retransmits 1 lost packet per RTT until all lost
packets from that window are retransmitted
 Eliminates timeout

 Reno with a new congestion avoidance
algorithm
 Converges (provided buffer is large) !
Congestion avoidance
 Each source estimates number of its own
packets in pipe from RTT
 Adjusts window to maintain estimate #
of packets in queues between a and b
for every RTT
{
if W/RTTmin – W/RTT < a / RTTmin
then W ++
if W/RTTmin – W/RTT > b / RTTmin
then W --
}
for every loss
W := W/2
Implications
 Congestion measure = end-to-end
queueing delay
 At equilibrium
 Zero loss
 Stable window at full utilization
 Nonzero queue, larger for more sources
 Convergence to equilibrium
 Converges if sufficient network buffer
 Oscillates like Reno otherwise
Theory-guided design: FAST
We will study them further in TCP modeling in the following
weeks
A simple model of AIMD (Reno) for example…

Why both TCP and UDP?
 Most applications use TCP, as this avoids reinventing error recovery in every application
 But some applications do not need TCP
 For example: Voice applications
Some packet loss is fine.
Packet retransmission introduces too much delay.
 For example: an application that sends just one
message, like DNS/SNMP/RIP.
TCP sends several packets before the useful one.
We may add reliability at application layer instead.
