Abstract

The growing popularity of distributed real-time applications increases the demand for QoS-aware messaging systems. In the absence of transmission rate control, congestion may prevent a messaging system from meeting its timeliness requirements. In this paper, we develop an analytic model for congestion in data dissemination protocols and investigate the effect of transmission rate on message delivery latency. Unlike previous works, we take into account the processing overhead of receiver buffer overflow, which has a significant impact on the results. A simulation is used to obtain more insight into the problem and to study a number of additional effects ignored by the analytic model. The presented analysis can be incorporated into a transmission rate control logic, to enable it to rapidly converge to an optimal transmission rate.
