Abstract. TFRC (TCP Friendly Rate Control) is a rate-based congestion control protocol for non-TCP flows. TFRC controls the sending rate by using the TCP throughput equation consi...
Real-time video streaming with rate adaptation to network load/congestion represents an efficient solution to its coexistence with conventional TCP data services. Naturally, the st...
Transport protocol for supporting multimedia streaming in mobile ad hoc networks has to cope with the rich dynamics, including mobility-induced disconnection, reconnection, and hig...
—Interactivity in the transport protocol can greatly benefit transport friendly applications generating streaming traffic. Recently we have developed iTCP, which can provide even...
We study limitations of an equation-based congestion control protocol, called TFRC (TCP Friendly Rate Control). It examines how the three main factors that determine TFRC throughp...
