The performance of adaptive window flow controls in a dynamic load environment
Sridhar Pingali, David Tipper, Joseph L. Hammond · 2002
The behavior of window flow control schemes that adapt to changing network conditions is studied. A dynamic window scheme, which adjusts the window size based on explicit network congestion indicators, is proposed. The throughput performance of the adaptive policy under both steady-state and nonstationary conditions is studied. The superiority of this scheme over some previously proposed adaptive window schemes based on implicit congestion detection is demonstrated.>
