Abstract :
The paper is concerned with optimizing end-to-end window controls that achieve proportional fairness in the long run, and then investigating their transient or short-term fairness. An abstracted stochastic model of a bottlenecked connection is employed and the window control is designed to minimize the buffer queue variance while keeping the mean queue level at a target value, taking the round-trip delay into account. A generalized window control aimed at reducing window size fluctuations is also derived. The effects of both the target queue length and a weighting parameter on the short-term fairness, as measured by short-term fairness indices calculated over short time intervals, are investigated using ns-2 simulations.
