Addressing Bandwidth-driven Flow Allocation in RINA
RINA, TCP, congestion control, flow allocation, rlite
Effective capacity allocation is essential for a network to operate properly,
providing predictable quality of service guarantees and avoiding bottlenecks.
Achieving capacity allocation fairness is a long-standing problem extensively
researched in the frame of transport and network layer protocols such as TCP/IP.
The Recursive InterNetwork Architecture offers programmable policies that enable
more flexible control on the mechanics of network flow allocation. In this paper,
we present our version of one of these policies, which provides flow allocation
according to the bandwidth requirements of requesting applications. We implement
the bandwidth-aware flow allocation policy by extending rlite, an open source
RINA implementation. Our evaluation shows how the policy can prevent links from
becoming oversaturated and use alternate paths to achieve high total link
data-rate use.
