Abstract

ISPs and Enterprises are equipping their networks with sufficiently high speed facilities and provide large bandwidths members. However the high speed enterprise network does not have satisfying end-to-end network performance within the network in spite of under utilization. The root cause of this performance degradation is a micro-congestion, which is a short-live event of traffic congestion. A micro-congestion causes packet loss, delay and packet reodering, and finally results in end-to-end network performance degradation. In this paper, we propose a micro-congestion detection method and find out the characteristics of performance degradation by analyzing traffic archives which is collected from a network link when a micro-congestion occurs.

기업이나 대학 등 대규모 기관들은 고속 네트워크를 구축하여 운영하고 있다. 이와 같은 고속 엔터프라이즈 네트워크 내에서 네트워크 이용률(utilization)이 저조함에도 불구하고 종단간 성능은 네트워크 속도에 비하여 상당히 저조하다. 이러한 원인은 특정 장비에서 아주 작은 시간에 트래픽이 폭주하는 미세폭주(micro-congestion)가 발생하기 때문이다. 미세폭주는 패킷손실(Packet Loss)나 지연(Delay), 패킷역전(Packet Reordering)을 발생시키고 이것이 성능 저하의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 미세폭주를 발생하는 시점을 검출하는 방법과 미세폭주를 검출한 시점에 트래픽을 수집하여 패킷손실, 지연, 패킷역전과 트래픽의 특성과의 상관관계 분석하여 성능저하를 발생시키는 미세폭주의 특성을 규명한다.
