Congestion control algorithms rely on a variety of congestion signals (packet loss, Explicit Congestion Notification, delay, etc.) to achieve fast convergence, high utilization, and fairness among flows. A key limitation of these congestion…
Although delay-based congestion control protocols such as FAST promise to deliver better performance than traditional TCP Reno, they have not yet been widely incorporated to the Internet. Several factors have contributed to their lack of…
TCP and its variants have suffered from surprisingly poor performance for decades. We argue the TCP family has little hope to achieve consistent high performance due to a fundamental architectural deficiency: hardwiring packet-level events…
As traffic patterns and network topologies become more and more complicated in current enterprise data centers and TOP500 supercomputers, the probability of network congestion increases. If no countermeasures are taken, network congestion…
Active Queue Management (AQM) is a key congestion control scheme that aims to find a balance between keeping high link utilization, minimizing queuing delays, and ensuring a fair share of the bandwidth between the competing flows.…
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) was introduced in 2001 as a multipath variant to traditional transport protocols, i.e. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Concurrent Multipath Transfer (CMT) has…
