The statistical information in traffic flows, can be efficiently utilized for application traffic identification. However, the packet out-of-order and retransmission generated at the traffic collection point reduce the performance of the statistics-based traffic analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel method to detect and resolve the packet out-of-order and retransmission problem in order to improve completeness and accuracy of the traffic identification. To prove the feasibility of the proposed method, we applied our method to a real traffic analysis system using statistical flow information, and compared the performance of the system with the selected 9 popular applications. The experiment showed maximum 4.9% of completeness growth in traffic bytes, which shows that the proposed method contributes to the analysis of heavy flow.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"48 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113973074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It's significant to provide a reasonable routing mechanism for data collection system. The major risk of original routing mechanism is the burst congestion. In the data collection network of smart grid, that some nodes may suffer from more congestion than others even become the bottleneck of network become the new source of risk. In order to overcome these problems, this paper proposes a routing mechanism to realize data balance. This mechanism firstly abstracts a multigate network model of data collection system. Then, it proposes a routing measurement model to balance data traffic named data balance measurement model (DBMM). Subsequently it proposes a routing algorithm based on DBMM, named RA-DBMM. The RA-DBMM handles the data traffic to achieve data balance by modifying the routing decision measurement function. So the queue length of queuing data and buffer capacity of every nodes are taken into consideration. Simulation illustrates that the proposed RA-DBMM has biggish enhancement in minishing the congestion, reducing loss ratio, overcoming bottleneck and increasing throughput of network.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132832849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through two experiments, it is concluded that the higher the user's preference score is, the higher the user rate MOS and the less MOS reduces when the resolution of video decrease. That is, the more user likes the video content, the more tolerant they will be to quality reduction of videos. Then a network resource management strategy is proposed based on the conclusion, and a web site platform is established for the test. Eventually we get the result that 87.0% of the participants have their MOS value increased after using the strategy.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130236194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Web proxy servers usually are geographically close to their clients (users). If Web proxy serves have cached valid copies of requested Web objects, they can be directly delivered to users. Otherwise, users need to spend a long time on getting Web objects from their hosting Web servers. Both cases will require users to wait for their requests. This period of latency can be largely reduced if Web proxy servers could predict what Web objects users may need in the near future, and send those predicted Web objects to the client sites before their actual usage. Various predicting algorithms, such as those based on temporal locality and data mining, had been proposed to enable proxy servers to make prediction of what Web objects users may access. However, they often need to constantly update and maintain their models in realtime to make their schemes effective. As a result, for proxy servers servicing a large number of users, schemes demanding for complicated and realtime calculation will not be as useful as expected in practice. Based on Web sites and Web pages commonly visited by users, we proposed a new model with an offline learning algorithm to help Web proxy servers make prediction about upcoming requests of Web objects from users. Compared with the hit ratio achieved by the original environment without prediction, our model can improve the caching performance of users' Web browsers by up to 51.37%.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122123532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the sake of overcoming dilemmas happened on VD and GVP, Cellular-Based Vehicle Probe (CVP) comes into being. However, the current applications for CVP mainly focus on arteries or freeways, where traffic information for longer distance is derived from two Inter-Visitor Location Register Location Area Update (Inter-VLR LAU) events with various Location Area Code (LAC) borders, and the one for shorter distance is from two consecutive handover events. The perplexity of available CVP techniques comes about is that there are no two Inter-VLR LAU events with various LAC borders and few handover events in scenic spots. In order to expand the applications for CVP to scenic spots, a cost-effective and flexible method utilizing mobile network signalling called Enhanced CVP (ECVP) is proposed. The key concept for ECVP is that we adopt Inter-VLR LAU events at the origin and all kinds of communication events at the destination to retrieve traffic information. The inaccuracy of ECVP consists in the uncertainty of event occurred time at the destination. Therefore, with a view to acquiring more accurate traffic information, three novel Reinforced CVP (RCVP) algorithms, inclusive of Fixed r percent samples CVP (F-RCVP), Dynamic r percent samples (D-RCVP), and Dynamic r percent samples with Discarding former samples (DD-RCVP), are presented. Numerical results show that F-RCVP is suitable for scenic spots that the LAC border only contain samples resulting from cars. By contrast, if the samples consist of both cars and motorcycles, it is recommended that D-RCVP and DD-RCVP are introduced.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122647586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the current default TCP algorithm in Linux. Because many Internet servers, such as web servers, are running on Linux operating system, keeping throughput obtained with this TCP algorithm enough is quite important. Then, many performance studies have been published. However, most of these studies were based on network simulators. Thus, evaluations using an actual TCP implementation and actual network elements are important in addition to these existing studies. In this paper, we focus on RTT (round trip time) fairness of CUBIC TCP, which is performance fairness among CUBIC TCP connections with different network delay times. Firstly, we present RTT fairness evaluation using actual TCP implementations and actual network elements and show that the RTT fairness is not enough. Secondly, we discuss the cause of the unfairness based on CUBIC TCP behavior. Thirdly, we propose a method for improving RTT fairness of CUBIC TCP, which is called SQUARE: FF (Feedback for Fairness based on square root of RTT). It has a mechanism with which an insufficient congestion window size is automatically increased. Finally, we present evaluation results and demonstrate that the proposed method provides better fairness than original CUBIC TCP implementation.","PeriodicalId":269952,"journal":{"name":"The 16th Asia-Pacific Network Operations and Management Symposium","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124174924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, 3GPP is on the study phase of this advanced MIMO technique and is working on the 3D channel model specification.
