TCP flow clustering based on routing information
Qiwei Gu, Yang Xiang · 2005
A new resource-allocation model in ideal networks was proposed through the analysis of the resource (allocation) and the model of TCP stream in traditional networks. In order to improve performance of TCP stream (resource) allocation in best effort IP networks service,a new stream labelling and clustering method were introduced,which can avoid irrationality of allocating resource. Edge routers labelled all streams so that streams from the same user entity have same label. Streams were clustered by K-mean algorithm. Kernel routers classified streams by labels and allocated resource respectively. The simulations have demonstrated the efficiency of this clustering method and it is transparent for user, needs low communication and computation afford.
