Abstract:
Group-oriented communication services have become more attractive due to the diversifying demands of Internet users. In these services, the bandwidth available to the link in the network is inefficiently consumed by multiple TCP connections and these individual connections compete against each other. Thus, current group-oriented services cannot use network resources efficiently. To achieve efficient group-oriented communication, we previously proposed a split connection method, which introduced session agents to eliminate redundant connections with a packet caching function. Furthermore, we showed the effectiveness of the proposed method and raised the cache utilization issue of the session agents under high traffic loads. In this paper, we propose packet transmission control methods to improve the cache efficiency of the session agents, especially under high traffic loads.
