Abstract-- The efficacy of end-to-end multicast transport protocols depends critically upon their ability to scale efficiently to a large number of receivers. Several research mult...
An inelastic flow is a flow with inelastic rate: i.e., the rate is fixed, it cannot be dynamically adjusted to traffic and load condition as in elastic flows like TCP. Real ti...
We propose an explicit rate indication scheme for congestion avoidance in ATM networks. In this scheme, the network switches monitor their load on each link, determining a load fac...
— Congestion caused by a large number of interacting TCP flows at a bottleneck network link is different from that caused by a lesser number of flows sending large amounts of d...
Most congestion control algorithms try to emulate processor sharing (PS) by giving each competing flow an equal share of a bottleneck link. This approach leads to fairness, and pr...
