dc.description.abstract
We present a control module for software edge routers called Receive Window Modulation - RWM. Its main objective is to mitigate what we define as self-induced congestion: the result of traffic emission patterns at the source that cause buffering and packet losses in any of the intermediate routers along the path between the connection's endpoints. The controller modifies the receiver's TCP advertised window to match the computed bandwidth-delay product, based on the connection round-trip time estimation and the bandwidth locally available at the edge router. The implemented controller does not need any endpoint modification, allowing it to be deployed in corporate edge routers, increasing visibility and control capabilities. This scheme, when used in real-world experiments with loss-based congestion control algorithms such as CUBIC, is shown to optimize access link utilization and per-connection goodput, and to reduce latency variability and packet losses.
