As the development of the Internet continues, congestion control has become a big issue to the computer network society. Most congestion control schemes fall into two categories, end-to-end and hop-by-hop schemes. We propose a novel hop-by-hop algorithm that originates from a classical traffic control algorithm. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithm can achieve short delays and quick responses to the congestion situations and cause no packet loss. It can also minimize the bandwidth requirement and achieve a very high buffer usage level for nodes along the transmission path.
