Congestion avoidance mechanisms allow a network to operate in the optimal region of low delay and high throughput, thereby, preventing the network from becoming congested. This is ...
We propose a scheme for congestion avoidance in networks using a connectionless protocol at the network layer. The scheme uses a minimal amount of feedback from the network to the ...
Popular myths that cheaper memory, high-speed links and high-speed processors will solve the problem of congestion in computer networks are shown to be false. A simple definition f...
Weaknesses in several recently proposed ideas about congestion control and avoidance in high-speed netwroks are identified. Both sides of the debate concerning prior reservation of...
Congestion control mechanisms for ATM networks as selected by the ATM Forum traffic management group are described. Reasons behind these selections are explained. In particular, se...
he Available Bit Rate (ABR) service has been developed to support data applications over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. The network continuously monitors its traffic an...
The OSU scheme is a rate-based congestion avoidance scheme for ATM networks using explicit rate indication. This work was one of the first attempts to define explicit rate switch m...
The Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks are quickly being adopted as backbones over various parts of the Internet. This paper analyzes the performance of TCP/IP protocols ove...
In this paper we study the design issues in improving TCP performance over the ATM UBR service. ATM-UBR switches respond to congestion by dropping cells when their buffers become f...
The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service in ATM networks has been specified to allow fair and efficient support of data applications over ATM utilizing capacity left over after servici...
