ALAPATI V. S. REDDY works in the Cellular Digital Packet Data Group at BNR, Richardyon. ongestion control in packet-switching networks became a high priority in network design and research due to ever-growing network bandwidth and intensive network applications. Dozens of various congestion conGol strategies have been proposed, and more are forthcoming. This article proposes a new taxonomy of c...

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. In this paper, we focus on a window-based flow control mechanism based on a congestion avoidance mech...

We introduce a model of the Relentless Congestion Control proposed by Matt Mathis. Relentless Congestion Control (RCC) is a modification of the AIMD (Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease) congestion control which consists in decreasing the TCP congestion window by the number of lost segments instead of halving it. Despite some on-going discussions at the ICCRG IRTF-group, this congestion c...

The future of Internet transport is unreliable: fast-growing applications like streaming media and telephony prefer timeliness to reliability, and thus prefer UDP to TCP. Unfortunately, UDP lacks congestion control, so these applications are unsafe for use on underprovisioned best-effort networks unless they implement congestion control themselves—a difficult task. They might, however, happily ...

Last decade has witnessed wide growth of Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Mobile ad-hoc network is self-configurable and adaptive. MANETs use wireless connections to connect various networks. There are number of issues and challenges in a mobile ad hoc network. Due to many number of nodes transmitting packets over the network, the chances of losing the packets over the network increases to a gr...

Congestion Control performs a very important role in Computer Networks, Modern Telecommunication, Internet and both wired and wireless communications are being intended for high-speed communication of large amounts of data. Due to lack of proper Congestion control mechanism the congestion collapse of such networks would become highly complex. A network with Streamed media traffic is a challenge...
