In window-based transport methods for stabilizing and/or maximizing the goodput at the destination, it is very important to understand the statistical properties of the transport control and performance response parameters. Based on traffic measurements collected over the Internet during a 6-month period, we formulate and test hypotheses on the main effects of two control parameters on the good...

This paper presents a survey on vehicular traffic control systems over wireless networks. A brief outline is given for vehicular traffic control systems then they are compared with various parameters. The challenges in designing the essential functional components and the corresponding protocols (for radio link control, routing, congestion control, security and privacy, and application developm...

Standardisation of Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) and Telepresence will likely lead to greatly increased deployment of interactive multimedia applications on the Internet. The resulting high-rate multimedia traffic may cause congestion, but few congestion control solutions have been proposed. We suggest that the congestion control, codec, and application be coupled and engage in a dialog...

Congestion occurs at a bottleneck along an Internet path. Multiple flows between the same sender and receiver pairs can benefit from using only a single congestion control instance when they share the same bottleneck. These benefits include the ability to control the rate allocation between flows and reduced overall delay (multiple congestion control instances cause more queuing delay than one ...

The growth of network intensive Internet applications has made gateway congestion control a high priority. The IETF Performance and Congestion Control Working Group surveyed and reviewed gateway congestion control and avoidance approaches. The purpose of this paper is to present our review of the congestion control approaches, as a way of encouraging new discussion and experimentation. Included...

Congestion and Congestion control in packet switch networks has been an active area of research for a long time. Congestion is defined as loss of network performance when a network is highly loaded. The problem of congestion control in ATM (Asynchronous Transmission Mode) has assumed a different dimension, because of the gigbit speed provided by ATM networks. Congestion control algorithms of pa...

A feedback-based congestion control mechanism is essential to realize an efficient best-effort service in highspeed networks. A window-based flow control mechanism called TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), a sort of feedbackbased congestion control mechanism, has been widely used in the current Internet. Recently-proposed TCP Vegas is another version of TCP mechanism, and achieves much better...

Current congestion control mechanisms in today’s Internet rely on end-to-end TCP congestion avoidance algorithms that back off sources when congestion occurs, detected by packet loss or explicit congestion notification signals. But one of the major setbacks of such mechanisms is making sure that all sources respond correctly in applying congestion avoidance measures during periods of high conge...
