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...

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...

Hop-by-Hop Congestion Control Over a Wireless Multi-Hop Network
This paper focuses on congestion control over multihop, wireless networks. In a wireless network, an important constraint that arises is that due to the MAC Media Access Control layer. Many wireless MACs use a time-division strategy for channel access, where, at any point in space, the physical channel can be...

Combining Source- and Localized Recovery to Achieve Reliable Multicast in Multi-Hop Ad Hoc Networks
This paper proposes a novel reliable multicast transport protocol for Multi-hop, wireless Ad hoc NETworks or MANETs. To recover from the different types of losses that may occur in MANETs, the Reliable Adaptive Congestion-controlled Transport protocol, or ReACT, combines source-based congestion- and error control with receiver-initiated localized recovery. While the...

Simplifying Virtualization Through Adaptive Networking Technology
As IT organizations increasingly deploy virtual servers and storage to consolidate resources and improve utilization, they must be able to dynamically provision applications on virtual servers and move them non-disruptively as workloads change. However, this increased mobility of application workloads can sometimes create unpredictable congestion in the networks connecting server-to-storage...

Parameter Tuning of Rate-Based Congestion Control Algorithms and Its Application to TCP Over ABR
In this paper, the rate-based congestion control algorithm that has been standardized in the ATM Forum is evaluated. Its behavior is analyzed by utilizing a first-order fluid approximation to provide control parameter tuning. This paper obtains the maximum queue length at the switch and conditions for avoiding under-utilization. The results...

Implementation and Evaluation of Late Data Choice for TCP in Linux
Real-time delivery of time-dependent data over the Internet is challenging. UDP has often been used to transport data in a timely manner, but its lack of congestion control is often criticized. This criticism is a reason that the vast majority of applications today use TCP. The downside of this is...

TCP MaxNet - Implementation and Experiments on the WAN in Lab
This paper describes implementation and performance of TCP MaxNet, a new protocol which uses a multi-bit explicit signaling approach to congestion control. The MaxNet sender algorithm operates by adjusting its congestion window in response to explicit feedback from the most congested link encountered in the network. This scheme has numerous...

TCP Testing - Preventing Global Internet Warming
Do the new TCP congestion control algorithms and other changes have unfairness that could lead to congestion collapse? Testing multiple flows using applications rsync and ftp shows some unfairness exists when the bottleneck queue is large; but the new algorithms are no more unfair than standard TCP. The Transmission Control...

Estimation of RTT and Bandwidth for Congestion Control Applications in Communication Networks
Heterogeneous communication networks with their variety of application demands, uncertain time-varying traffic load, and mixture of wired and wireless links pose several challenging problem in modeling and control. This paper focuses on the Round-Trip Time RTT, which is a particularly important variable for efficient end-to-end congestion control, and on bandwidth...

TCP-ROME: Performance and Fairness in Parallel Downloads for Web and Real Time Multimedia Streaming Applications
Parallel download protocols that establish multiple TCP connections to distributed replica servers have the potential to reduce file download time and to improve the quality of realtime multimedia downloads. Unfortunately, parallel download protocols are also inherently unfair towards single-flow downloads. This paper presents TCP-ROME, a parallel download protocol that allows...

TCP Congestion Control Over 3G Communication Systems: An Experimental Evaluation of New Reno, BIC and Westwood+
One of TCP's key tasks is to react and avoid network congestion episodes which nor-mally arise in packet switched networks. A wide literature is available concerning the behaviour of congestion control algorithms in many different scenarios and several congestion control algorithms have been proposed in order to improve performances in...
