An Adaptive Congestion Control Algorithm

Abstract

There are various applications running over the Internet which generates a huge amount of traffic. So, Transport Layer takes the responsibility to manage this traffic and provides reliable, connection-oriented, end-to-end packet delivery service. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a Transport Layer protocol, which provides these services. Each TCP variant provides a solution for specific problems. Utilization of the available bandwidth of the path with respect to the received ACK remains a challenge in long delay network. This paper presents a delay based congestion control approach which tries to maintain the data transmission according to the available capacity of the path. Simulation results show that proposed approach provides better results in terms of packet loss, throughput and interprotocol fairness as compare to other protocol.

Research on TCP congestion window smoothing control algorithm based on traffic awareness

“…The traditional standard TCP adopts the window adjustment strategy of the AIMD (Additive Increase, Multiplicative Decrease) algorithm, which makes the data suddenly increase or drop sharply during the transmission process, and the transmission is unstable. As a result, data transmission in the high-speed network will generate large delay jitter [3,4] . This paper focuses on the phenomenon that the congestion window growth in the late period of the classic slow start algorithm is not smooth enough, a congestion window smoothing control algorithm based on flow awareness is proposed.…”
