Through manual analysis, it was seen that when the
background traffic and the priority traffic are taking the
same link, the throughput as per the information for iperf,
was significantly lower which was expected. The algorithm
provides a 20,000 byte buffer for the as this amount of
data can be considered negligible from a data transfer point
of view, and as a result a less than this should not be
counted as a negative reward. This is further described in Table 1, outlining background flow, b, and priority flow,
p. Furthermore, in Table 1 we outline a baseline of the
environment and the time taken to transfer 100 Megabytes
of data. Another key data point to note is when random
paths were used to send traffic for the priority traffic, every
five seconds, we calculated it took an average 17 and a
half minutes, this will be compared to the time taken by
TCP-CA/RL.
