A Spectrum of TCP-Friendly Window-Based Congestion Control Algorithms

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: TCP uses additive-increase and multiplicative-decrease (AIMD). It probes available bandwidth by increasing the congestion window size linearly, and responds to increased congestion (indicated by packet losses) by decreasing the window size multiplicatively. The increasing diversity of Internet application requirements has spurred recent interest in transport protocols with flexible transmission controls. This paper presents a comprehensive study of a new spectrum of window-based congestion controls, which are TCP-friendly as well as TCP-compatible under RED. The controls utilize history information in their control rules.
