A Lightweight Performance Enhancing Proxy for Evolved Protocols and Networks

摘要

In this paper we present the design and prototype implementation of a multi-domain congestion control framework based on a non-ossifying Lightweight Performance Enhancing Proxy. We demonstrate that our solution can be both used for evolved protocols such as end-to-end encrypted QUIC and for evolved cellular access networks like 5G. We also show the performance of our Multi-Domain Congestion Control algorithm by a simulation study. Moreover, we expose its behavior in realistic use cases like sudden capacity changes in 5G mmWave cellular networks. Our results highlight that significant performance improvements can be achieved by cooperative traffic management frameworks in protocols and networks of the future.
