INF 5070 – Media Servers and Distribution Systems:

2005 Carsten Griwodz & Pål HalvorsenINF5070 � media servers and distribution systems

Overview

Non-QoS protocols:

! Transport level protocols

! Application layer protocols

! Signaling protocols


Requirements for Continuous Media

! Acceptable delay

" Seconds in asynchronous on-demand applications

" Milliseconds in synchronous interpersonal communication

! Acceptable jitter

" Milliseconds at the application level

" Tolerable buffer size for jitter compensation

" Delay and jitter include retransmission, error-correction, ...


Requirements for Continuous Media

! Acceptable continuity

" Streams must be displayed in sequence

" Streams must be displayed at acceptable, consistent quality

! Acceptable synchronity

" Intra-media: time between successive packets must be conveyed to receiver

" Inter-media: different media played out at matching times


Basic Techniques! Delay and jitter

" Reservation (sender, receiver, network)" Buffering (receiver)" Scaling (sender)

! Continuity" Real-time packet re-ordering (receiver)" Loss detection and compensation" Retransmission" Forward error correction" Stream switching (encoding & server)

! Synchronity" Fate-sharing and route-sharing (networks with QoS-support)" Time-stamped packets (encoding)" Multiplexing (encoding, server, network)" Buffering (client)" Smoothing (server)


QoS vs. Non�QoS Approaches! Internet without network QoS support

" Internet applications must cope with networking problems# Application itself or middleware

# "Cope with" means either � o � �adapt to� which must deal with TCP-like service variationso � �don�t care about� which is considered �unfair� and cannot work with TCP

! Internet with network QoS support" Application must specify their needs

" Internet infrastructure must change � negotiation of QoS parameters

" Routers need more features# Keep QoS-related information

# Identify packets as QoS-worthy or not

# Treat packets differently keep routing consistent


TCP/IP Protocol stack

$ Has only 4 layers

$ IP is central

$ Nothing must compete with IP at the network layer

$ There is no QoS support

$ Routing is transparent for the application

$ Transport-unrelated functions are application-layer tasks

User Datagram Protocol (UDP)! Described in

" Internet Engineering Note 88" Request for Comments 768" Internet Standard 6

! Connection-less! Unreliable! Unordered! Datagram-oriented! Uncontrolled

! Optionally checksummed

! Often used in multimedia streaming applications �can build whatever needed on top

! Simple" add pseudo-header (UDP/IP)" calculate checksum" finish header" send to IP

! No..." ... guarantees" ... fairness" ...


Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)! Described in

" Internet Engineering Note 2" Request for Comments 793" Internet Standard 7

! Connection-oriented! Reliable! Ordered! Stream-oriented! Flow-controlled! Checksummed

! Complex compared to UDP

! High fraction of today�s traffic is TCP-based, e.g.," electronic mail" web" file transfers" ...

! We need to know some details about the TCP behavior/traffic %we�ll briefly look at TCP ..." ...retransmission timeouts" ...congestion control" ...friendliness


TCP Round Trip Time EstimationEstimatedRTT = (1 - α) * EstimatedRTT + α * SampleRTT

usually, α = 0.125 [RFC 2988]sender receiver

Initially, EstimatedRTT is based on packets sent during �handshake� operation (connection setup), e.g., 3

roun

d 1

The following RTTs are calculated using the formula abovetaking one SampleRTT each round:

- going slightly up if EstimatedRTT < SampleRTT- going slightly down if EstimatedRTT > SampleRTT- e.g. (α = 0.5 ):

2) EstimatedRTT = .5 * 3 + .5 * 3 = 3

3) EstimatedRTT = .5 * 3 + .5 * 5 = 4

4) EstimatedRTT = .5 * 4 + .5 * 1 = 2.5

NOTE: the next RTT isnot necessarily ready before the corresponding round starts (and we startsending the next packets)


TCP Retransmission Timeout! The EstimatedRTT is used for the retransmission timer �

timeout interval should be" ≥ estimatedRTT � avoiding unnecessary retransmissions" but not too much larger � slow retransmit, large delay" margin should be large when lot of fluctuations, otherwise small

! Additionally, TCP uses RTT variation � deviated RTT: DevRTT = (1 - β) * DevRTT + β * | SampleRTT � EstimatedRTT |, usually, β= 0.25

! Retransmission interval given byTimeoutInterval = EstimatedRTT + 4 * DevRTT

! Modifications" timeout interval doubling each timeout (form of congestion control) " fast retransmission � three duplicate ACKs (decrease delay)


TCP Congestion Control

! TCP limit sending rate as a function of perceived network congestion" little traffic � increase sending rate " much traffic � reduce sending rate

! Congestion algorithm has three major �components�:" additive-increase, multiplicative-decrease (AIMD)" slow-start" reaction to timeout events

TCP Friendliness

RTT

wRs

max=

A TCP connection’s throughput is bounded

$ wmax - maximum retransmission window size

$ RTT - round-trip time

The TCP send rate limit is

21, =⋅= ββ ww

In case of loss in an RTT:

In case of no loss: 1, =+= ααww

Congestion windows size changes

$ AIMD algorithm$ additive increase, multiple

decrease

TCP is said to be fair$ Streams that share a path will

reach an equal share

That’s not generally true$ Bigger RTT

" higher loss probability per RTT" slower recovery

$ Disadvantage for long-distance traffic


TCP Friendliness! A protocol is TCP-friendly if

" Colloquial: It long-term averagethroughput is not bigger than TCP�s

" Formal: Its arrival rate is at mostsome constant over the square rootof the packet loss rate

! Thus, if the rule is not violated �

" � the AIMD algorithm with α ≠ 1/2 and β ≠ 1 is still TCP-friendly

" � TCP-friendly protocols may # probe for available bandwidth faster than TCP# adapt to bandwidth changes more slowly than TCP# use different equations or statistics, i.e., not AIMD# not use slow start (i.e., don�t start with w=0)

CpRr +≤P � packet loss rate

C � constant value

Rr � packet arrival rate


TCP Congestion Control Alternatives

! Why alternatives?" Improve throughput and variance

# Early TCP implementations did little to minimize network congestion

# Loss indication forces setting new congestion window threshold to half of the last congestion window size

# But �o � what else to conclude from the loss?o � which packets to retransmit?


TCP Congestion Control Alternatives! Original TCP

" not in use

! TCP Tahoe! TCP Reno! TCP New-Reno

! TCP SACK (Selective Acknowledgements)! TCP FACK (Forward Acknowledgements)

" must use a TCP option" RFC 2018 �TCP Selective Acknowledgment Options�

Lossy transfer with small delays (link: 500kbps, 105ms delay):


TCP Westwood+! Very recent! Developed for wireless networks with many losses

" Losses in wireless networks are oftennon-congestion lossesbut corruption losses

! Side effect" Less unfair against long round-trip times

! Implemented in Linux

! Procedure" TCP Westwood uses ACK packets " provide a bandwidth estimate

! �Faster recovery�" After loss indication by a triple-ACK go into faster recovery

# Use bandwidth estimate to set new congestion window size and new slow start threshold

TCP Westwood+

! Immediately before the loss, TCPW was very close to its fair share. Therefore, on triple ACKs and DUPACKs, a state of congestion is reached and the previously used bandwidth is used for the congestion window size (not halving!)

! TCP congestion control is based on the notion that the network is a �black box� �congestion indicated by a loss

! Sufficient for best-effort applications, but losses might severely hurt traffic like audio and video streams% congestion indication can enable features like

quality adaptation

! Use active queue management to detect congestion


Random Early Detection (RED)

! Random Early Detection (discard/drop) (RED) uses active queue management

! Drops packet in an intermediate node based on average queue length exceeding a threshold" TCP receiver reports loss in ACK" sender applies MD

! Current Internet RED" restricted to packet drop as congestion indication, but" could also only indicate congestion setting congestion

experienced (CE) bit in packet header


Early Congestion Notification (ECN)! Early Congestion Notification (ECN) - RFC 2481

" an end-to-end congestion avoidance mechanism" implemented in routers and supported by end-systems" not multimedia-specific, but very TCP-specific" two IP header bits used

# ECT - ECN Capable Transport, set by sender# CE - Congestion Experienced, may be set by router

! Extends RED" if packet has ECT bit set

# ECN node sets CE bit# TCP receiver sets ECN bit in ACK# sender applies multiple decrease (AIMD)

" else# Act like RED


Early Congestion Notification (ECN)

! Effects" Congestion is not oscillating - RED & ECN" ECN-packets are never lost on uncongested links" Receiving an ECN mark means

# TCP window decrease# No packet loss# No retransmission

Tail drop

RED

ECN


XCP � eXplicit Congestion Notification! Protocol for connections with high bandwidth-

delay product! Routers return explicit feedback to the host

" 20 bytes header between IP and TCP" Router does not need to know flows

! Operation" Routers adjust sending speed of hosts continously" Adjustments are done by changing headers" Host use feedback from routers to change their

congestion window

! Operation" Each video layer is one IP multicast group" Receivers join the base layer and extension layers" If they experience loss, they drop layers (leave IP multicast groups)" To add layers, they perform �join experiments�

! Advantages" Receiver-only decision" Congestion affects only sub-tree quality" Multicast trees are pruned, sub-trees have only necessary traffic
