AQM (Active Queue Management) mechanisms support an end-to-end congestion control mechanism of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). Researchers have claimed several advantages of AQM mechanisms over a conventional Drop-Tail gateway such as the small average queue length (i.e., the number of packets

/delay. In this work, we propose token flow control (TFC), a flow control mechanism in which nodes in the network send out tokens in their local neighborhood to communicate information about their available resources. These tokens are then used in both routing and flow control: to choose less congested paths

action as rapidly as possible. Finally, practical issues such as correcting parameter drift and cmmlination with window flow control are described.

of end-to-end congestion control in the design of future protocols using best-effort traffic, we argue that router mechanisms are needed to identify and restrict the bandwidth of selected high-bandwidth best-effort flows in times of congestion. The paper discusses several general approaches

connections and reducing delay for a particular connection during its periods of burstiness [4], but it scales well and is easy to implement efficiently. In an alternate approach, some congestion control mechanisms that use variants of Fair Queueing [20] or hop-by-hop flow control schemes [22] propose

pRB, the product of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene, operates in the midst of the cell cycle clock appara-tus. Its main role is to act as a signal transducer connecting the cell cycle clock with the transcriptional machinery. In this role, pRB allows the clock to control the expression

In this paper we use jump process driven Stochastic Differential Equations to model the interactions of a set of TCP flows and Active Queue Management routers in a network setting. We show how the SDEs can be transformed into a set of Ordinary Differential Equations which can be easily solved

TCP congestion control can perform badly in highspeed wide area networks because of its slow response with large congestion windows. The challenge for any alternative protocol is to better utilize networks with high bandwidth-delay products in a simple and robust manner without interacting badly

We describe FAST TCP, a new TCP congestion control algorithm for high-speed long-latency networks, from design to implementation. We highlight the approach taken by FAST TCP to address the four difficulties, at both packet and flow levels, which the current TCP implementation has at large windows

This document proposes HighSpeed TCP, a modification to TCP's congestion control mechanism for use with TCP connections with large congestion windows. The congestion control mechanisms of the current Standard TCP constrains the congestion windows that can be achieved by TCP in realistic
