— To discover an efficient fair sending rate for a flow, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) saturates the bottleneck link and its buffer until the router discards a packet. Su...
In order to stem the increasing packet loss rates caused by an exponential increase in network traffic, the IETF has been considering the deployment of active queue management tech...

Abstract—In this paper, we describe a receiver based congestion control policy that leverages TCP flow control mechanisms to prioritize mixed traffic loads across access links....

TCP was designed and tuned to work well on networks where losses are mainly congestion losses. The performance of TCP decreases dramatically when a TCP connection traverses a wire...
During overload, most networks drop packets due to buffer unavailability. The resulting timeouts at the source provide an implicit mechanism to convey congestion signals from the n...
