Abstract | Estimation of retransmission timeout (RTO) in TCP networks is important in order to maximize throughput. If the RTO is too small, packets will be unnecessarily declared lost, thus resulting in a retransmission. If RTO is too large, applications will wait too long before declaring a packet to be lost, thus reducing throughput. The conventional method due to Karn and Jacobson for estimating RTO is using a smoothing filter [1], [2], and this was later refined to utilize mean deviation measurements [1], [2]. In wireless links, the delay can often be impulsive, and weighted-average filters perform poorly. This paper presents results for mobile wireless transmission, and investigates the use of a median filter for timeout estimation in the presence of competing traffic flows. We demonstrate the applicability of this approach to estimating TCP round-trip times, and UDP packet jitter. |
