Abstract
In this paper, we term multimedia streaming application traffic "stream flows", and the other usual application traffic "nonstream flows". There are many problems where both flows are aggregated on a shared link, because different TCP and UDP behaviors cause negative interactions. To solve these, we propose a new method that reduces these interactions. In this paper, we classify nonstream flows into several classes based on assumptions that the traffic patterns of nonstream flows vary depending on upper-layer-applications and they have different interactions with stream flows. First, we discuss our classification of nonstream flows. Second, we reveal the characteristics of nonstream flows in each class. We then evaluate our method using a principle algorithm, and present the outstanding effective results we obtained through simulation experiments.
