Impact of Loss Synchronization on Reliable High Speed Networks: A Model Based Simulation

Figure 4

Congestion window versus time for 2 STCP flows (flow 2 start 10 sec. after flow 1) on a bottleneck link = 1 Gbps, RTT = 120 ms, buffer size = 0.1 BDP (1000 1.5 KB packets).

(a) Full synchronization, Jain’s fairness = 0.506834, average link utilization =0.938060
795489.fig.004b
(b) Partial synchronization (drop only one flow), Jain’s fairness = 0.987716, average link utilization = 0.973123
