Abstract
In this paper, we investigate extensively the joint network dynamics with different AIMD window-adjustment parameters on end-hosts, and different queue management schemes (i.e. DropTail vs. RED) in routers. We reveal that with DropTail buffer, although smooth TCPs causes less queuing-delay jitter, its average queuing delay is significantly higher than that of responsive TCPs. The direct implication of this discovery is that when mobile users of media-streaming and short messages share a bottleneck link, the energy consumption for sending short messages can increase severely if media-streaming users adopt smooth TCPs. With RED, on the other hand, smooth TCPs not only lead to smaller queue oscillation, the average/max queue length is smaller as well.
