Abstract
The congestion control algorithm embedded in the 4.3-Tahoe BSD TCP implementation has dramatically improved congestion control over the Internet. However, several recent simulation studies on the dynamics of this algorithm has revealed that the algorithm exhibits clear oscillatory patterns in sending window size, round trip delay and bottleneck queue length. In this paper, we present a new congestion signal scheme and a dual traffic adjustment strategy. Simulation results show that our modifications can eliminate the periodic packet losses and substantially reduce the traffic oscillation.
