Summary Transmission based on flows becomes more and more popular in teleinformatics networks. To guarantee proper quality of service, to enable multipath transmissions, or just to increase transmission effectiveness in a network, traffic should be sent as flows. Flow‐aware networking architecture is one of the possible concepts to realize flow‐based transmissions. In this paper, the efficient congestion control mechanism (ECCM) is proposed to improve transmission in flow‐aware networks (FAN). The mechanism makes it possible to minimize acceptance delay of streaming flows (served with high priority) without deteriorating other transmissions in the network. It is confirmed by simulation experiments that the implementation of FAN with the ECCM mechanism is a promising solution for the Future Internet. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
