Fuzzy logic strategy of prognosticating TCP's timeout and retransmission

Abstract

The work presented in this paper is the design and implementation of an intelligent strategy using fuzzy logic technology to gauge the TCP timeout and retransmission value. The conventional algorithms, which are based on statistical analysis, perform in a marginally acceptable way for estimating these two values. But they have been shown to be increasingly incapable of dealing with more complicated TCP traffic due to ignorance of traffic complexity. Fuzzy logic technology will be applied to estimate the TCP timeout and retransmission for the purpose of utilising artificial intelligence, combining knowledge about the network traffic and connection.
