Title : Global Synchronization Protection for Packet Queues

Abstract:
Transmission capacity sharing TCP flows tend to synchronize among
each other. This way rate variations of the individual flows, which
are caused by the congestion control algorithms, do not even out. 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 rationale and is not heuristic, and it has been
tested with a Linux implementation.
