Abstract:

This paper proposes the BUC (Buffer Utilization Control) algorithm, a congestion avoidance algorithm executed exclusively in a gateway we call the "BUC gateway". The BUC gateway maintains separate queues per transport-level-conversation at each output-port. These "per-conversationqueues " are served in a round-robin manner. To control the data-flow of conversations, the BUC algorithm updates a window in well-defined time-intervals called "epochs". At the beginning of each epoch a conversation's window is computed as a function of the per-conversation-queue-size and the window-size of the preceding epoch. Additionally, we propose a novel signaling mechanism called RFCN- Reverse Feedback Congestion Notification. RFCN is applicable to transport protocols using sliding window
