Abstract
When bottleneck buffers are large, loss-based congestion control keeps them full, causing bufferbloat. When bottleneck buffers are small, loss-based congestion control misinterprets loss as a signal of congestion, leading to low throughput. Fixing these problems requires an alternative to loss-based congestion control. Finding this alternative requires an understanding of where and how network congestion originates.

Configurable active multicast congestion control
A multicast congestion control and avoidance scheme is indispensable for group-based applications to fairly share and efficiently use network resources with unicast applications and maintain the stability of the Internet. It is difficult for the ...
ModQUIC protocol performance verification with CUBIC and BBR congestion control mechanisms
ModQUIC protocol is developed to compete for TCP's dominance. In this work, ModQUIC protocol performance is evaluated using the BBR protocol and suggested a new decrease factor (β) for CUBIC protocol. Results show that ModQUIC with BBR outperforms ModQUIC ...
Performance evaluation of Westwood+ TCP congestion control
Internet performance symposium (IPS 2002)Westwood+ TCP is a sender-side only modification of the classic Tahoe/Reno TCP that has been recently proposed to improve fairness and efficiency of TCP. The key idea of Westwood+ TCP is to perform an end-to-end estimate of the bandwidth available for a ...
