Abstract
Weaknesses in several recently proposed ideas about congestion control and avoidance in high-speed networks are identified. Both sides of the debate concerning priorreservation of resources versus walk-in service, open-loop control versus feedback control, rate control versus window control, and router-based control versus source-based control are presented. The circumstances under which backpressure is useful or not useful are discussed, and it is argued that a single congestion scheme is not sufficient, but that a combination of several schemes is required for complete congestion management in a network. Key Words: Congestion Control, Flow Control, Resource Management, Overload Control, Congestion Avoidance, High-Speed Networks. Introduction With the advent of gigabits per second links and networks, the interest in congestion management 2 is increasing. This is because high-speed links have to coexist with lowspeed networks of the past that will continue to be used for quite some...
