Abstract

ECN is accurate in determining traffic congestion since it explicitly notifies the incipient congestion. Therefore, ECN method has been thoroughly studied in the field of wireless TCP. This paper introduces a formula to find the optimal threshold for ECN marking. We have implemented a Petri net model of ´TCP with ECN strategy´ and performed simulations on it in order to verify the validity of the formula. We have also introduced ideas of applying the formula in practice. The primary contribution of this paper is proposing a formula to find the optimal threshold for ECN marking. However, introducing the Petri net model of ´TCP with ECN strategy´ is no less valuable contribution because it can be helpfully used by the researchers in studying network protocols. We have built the Petri net model by modifying the existing Petri net model of TCP. In order to add ECN strategy to the existing model, we have mainly modified the network part. We have also modified sender part and receiver part as well.
