We address the following question in this study: Whatis the nature of Internet congestion and where does congestionreally occur on a Public Internet path? Answeringthis question will help service providers and contentproviders better engineer emerging services on the Internet.Our large-scale path measurement and analysis study indicatesthat congestion on the Internet exhibits a wide varietyof packet loss and delay characteristics. Based on our classificationusing "congestion signatures", we find four dominant"types" of congestion which may be related to macroscopicbehavior. A particularly frequent type of congestionwe observe, is "flash congestion", which creates significantbursty packet loss on a fairly long time-scale.Additionally, our study suggests that flash congestionpredominantly occurs at the access provider network withinthe "last mile" on an Internet path. The Internet "cloud"does not contribute heavily to congestion. Consequently,prevalent approaches to bypass the cloud using "edge-based"content delivery networks and caching may not beeffective in reducing congestion. |
