Abstract
In this paper, we first review the potential roles of a network in improving end-to-end TCP control. We discuss problems associated with such network control when a network provider wants to provide a certain degree of service objective based on the control. When we use feedback control mechanism, we assume a specific behavior of end-hosts as a conformance condition. In case of TCP, there are a lot variants of implementation and the differences give big impacts on TCP performance. We evaluate such impacts for Ackadjust method by simulation and point out the necessity to clarify the relationship for the interworking between network-based control and TCP implementation.
