Title : Global Synchronization Protection for Packet Queues

Abstract:
The congestion avoidance processes of transmission capacity sharing
TCP flows tend to be synchronized among each other, so that the rate
variations of the individual flows do not compensate. In contrary,
they accumulate into large variations of the whole aggregate. The
effect is known as global synchronization. Large queuing buffer
demand and large latency and jitter are the consequences. Global
Synchronization Protection (GSP) is an extension of regular tail drop
packet queuing schemes that prevents global synchronization. For
large traffic aggregates the de-correlation between the individual
flow variations reduces buffer demand and packet sojourn time by an
order of magnitude and more. Even though quite simple, the solution
has a theoretical background and is not heuristic. It has been tested
with a Linux kernel implementation and shows equivalent performance
as other relevant AQM schemes.
