- Fixing the unfairness of TCP congestion control
- Bob Briscoe Chief researcher at the BT Network Research Centre is on a mission to tackle one of the biggest problems facing the Internet. He wants the world to know that TCP Transmission Control Protocol congestion control is fundamentally broken and he has a proposal for the IETF to fix...

- Achieving High Throughput in Low Multiplexed, High Bandwidth, High Delay Environments
- This paper explores combining ECN bits and loss feedback to achieve a high throughput connection in a high bandwidth, low multiplexed environment. In the scheme, a TCP source reacts differently on receiving an ECN than it does on inferring a packet loss in terms of congestion window update. Coupled with...

- A Window-Based Flow Control Mechanism Based on TCP Vegas With Explicit Congestion Notification
- A window-based flow control mechanism is a sort of feedback-based congestion control mechanisms, and has been widely used in TCP/IP networks. Recently proposed TCP Vegas is another version of the TCP mechanism and has potential to achieve much better performance than current TCP Tahoe and Reno. This paper focuses on...

- Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) for TCP/IP
- When routers become congested to the point in which their incoming packet buffers fill and they begin dropping packets, the effect on the network is reduced bandwidth, an impact on loss or time-sensitive traffic flows, and possibly link idle time after the congestion occurs. Explicit Congestion Notification ECN for TCP/IP...

- Achieving 100% Throughput in TCP/AQM Under Aggressive Packet Marking With Small Buffer
- This paper investigates the performance of TCP/AQM systems with ECN marks under the aggressive scale for packet marking and a buffer of size smaller than O(?N). Under such a scale, the paper demonstrates that randomness both in packet arrivals and in packet marking must be taken into account and developed...

- Analyzing the Receiver Window Modification Scheme of TCP Queues
- Explicit Congestion Notification ECN and Active Queue Management AQM Schemes such as Random Early Detection RED, Adaptive Random Early Detection ARED and BLUE queues have been proposed for TCP/IP networks to compensate network congestion. However, using ECN requires that ECN be supported by both TCP senders and receivers. This paper...

- Collaborative Congestion Control in Parallel TCP Flows
- This paper suggests a new congestion control scheme in parallel TCP flows and compares it with single-flow based congestion control approaches in the Internet. When a node opens multiple connections that are going to the same or nearby destinations, one can assume that there is a significant correlation of congestion...
