Dynamic time Windows: congestion control and avoidance in high speed networks
Theodore Faber · 1994
This thesis describes the Dynamic Time Windows congestion control and avoidance system. This system is designed to mitigate the effects of network congestion on today's networks and the networks of the future by directly controlling source burstiness. This chapter will discuss the need for congestion control in computer networks, identify the aspects of congestion control that present particular challenges in high speed networks, and introduce the Dynamic Time Windows system (DTW). It will also provide an overview of the remainder of the thesis.
