Network-assisted congestion control
Cheng Wan-xiang, Shi Peixin, Lei Zhenming · 2002
The research on end-to-end congestion control scheme has been developed widely. But the end-to-end adaptation scheme naturally has some limitations, such as the probing problem and fairness problem. In order to solve these problems, the assistance of network is necessary. Therefore, a network-assisted congestion control (NACC) algorithm is presented. The network-assisted congestion control algorithm is quite simple, but very efficient. Additionally, the NACC algorithm could provide a TCP-friendliness. Finally, the results of simulation prove that the NACC algorithm could fulfil the max-min fairness and TCP-friendliness.
