TCP and DiffServ
This list is an arbitrary and incomplete set of pointers to
papers that I have run across.
- 
J. Crowcroft and P. Oechslin
Differentiated End-to-End Internet Services Using a 
Weighted Proportional Fair Sharing TCP, 
CCR, Volume 28, N 3, July 1998.
 - 
W. Feng, D. Kandlur, D. Saha, K. Shin,
Understanding and Improving TCP Performance Over Networks with
Minimum Rate Guarantees,
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking,
April 1999.
Earlier versions of some of this work appeared in the following:
W. Feng, D. Kandlur, D. Saha, K. Shin, 
Understanding TCP Dynamics in 
an Integrated Services Internet,
NOSSDAV '97, May 1997. 
 - 
W. Feng, D. Kandlur, D. Saha, K. Shin, 
Adaptive Packet Marking for Providing 
Differentiated Services in the Internet,
Proc. of 1998 International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP '98),  
October 1998.
 - 
Ikjun Yeom and A. L. Narasimha Reddy,
Realizing throughput guarantees in Differentiated Services Networks,
TAMU-ECE-9806, 1998.
This paper proposes and evaluates several mechanisms, including
limiting OUT packets;
including the reserved rate in a field in the packet header, and
using the reserved rate field at the queue in dropping packets; using
token-bucket policing with three drop preferences; and modifying
TCP's congestion control to include awareness of the reserved rate.
 - 
Wenjia Fang, 
TCP mechanisms for Diff-Serv Architecture, 
Princeton University Technical Report 605-99, 1999.
This paper proposes modification to TCP's congestion control algorithm
that are specifically tailored to the DiffServ architecture.
 - 
S. Sahu, P. Nain, D. Towsley, C. Diot, V. Firoiu,
On Achievable Service Differentiation with Token Bucket Marking for
TCP,
UMASS CMPSCI Technical Report 99-72, Nov. 1999.
