- COCOON: An Alternative Approach to End-Point Congestion Management
- This paper proposes an alternate endpoint congestion management scheme, called COordinated COngestion cONtrol COCOON. The basic idea is to identify and group connections that may traverse the same backbone link, to enable them to share congestion information, and to coordinate among them all the congestion avoidance/control activities. The size of...

- Congestion Propagation Among Routers in the Internet
- In recent years, various non-linear phenomena of the Internet have been discovered. For instance, it is reported that congestion of a router propagates to neighboring routers like a wave. Several researches on congestion propagation among routers have been performed. However, in these researches, cause of congestion propagation and condition that...

- De-Randomizing Congestion Losses to Improve TCP Performance Over Wired-Wireless Network
- Currently, a TCP sender considers all losses as congestion signals and reacts to them by throttling its sending rate. With Internet becoming more heterogeneous with more and more wireless error-prone links, a TCP connection may unduly throttle its sending rate and experience poor performance over paths experiencing random losses unrelated...

- Collaborative Congestion Control in Parallel TCP Flows
- This paper suggests a new congestion control scheme in parallel TCP flows and compares it with single-flow based congestion control approaches in the Internet. When a node opens multiple connections that are going to the same or nearby destinations, one can assume that there is a significant correlation of congestion...

- Congestion Control in Linux TCP
- The TCP protocol is used by the majority of the network applications on the Internet. TCP performance is strongly influenced by its congestion control algorithms that limit the amount of transmitted traffic based on the estimated network capacity and utilization. Because the freely available Linux operating system has gained popularity...

- Issues in Performance Evaluation of New TCP Stacks in High Speed Networks
- TCP congestion control has been designed to ensure Internet stability along with fair and efficient allocation of the network bandwidth. With the spreading of high-speed and long-distance networks, the standard TCP congestion control algorithm showed some limitations in exploiting full bandwidth utilization. During the last few years, many new congestion...

- MTCP: Scalable TCP-Like Congestion Control for Reliable Multicast
- The paper presents MTCP, a congestion control scheme for large-scale reliable multicast. Congestion control for reliable multicast is important, because of its wide applications in multimedia and collaborative computing, yet nontrivial, because of the potentially large number of receivers involved. Many schemes have been proposed to handle the recovery of...

- A TCP With Guaranteed Performance in Networks With Dynamic Congestion and Random Wireless Losses
- It is well-known that TCP performs poorly in the presence of packet losses happening for reasons other than Internet congestion. One increasingly important source of such errors is wireless links. In this paper, networks are studied where the congestion - and thus the bandwidth available to a host - varies...

- TCP/IP Interaction Based on Congestion Price: Stability and Optimality
- Despite the large body of work studying congestion control and adaptive routing in isolation, much less attention has been paid to whether these two resource-allocation mechanisms work well together to optimize user performance. Most analysis of congestion control assumes static routing, and most studies of adaptive routing assume the offered...
