An analytical model to evaluate throughput and TCP-fairness of the SQRT congestion control protocol over lossy links
M. Borri, Maria Luisa Merani · 2005
We develop an accurate analytic model to predict the send rate of the SQRT binomial congestion control protocol, under the assumption that the protocol operates in an environment where the packet loss rate is relatively high. Based on this model, a study of its TCP-friendliness is performed, remarking on the non-negligible effects on fairness that different queue managements have.
