Congestion control with Active network and TCP
Zhou Xiao-ning · Computer and Information Technology · 2005
Many works have recently addressed the issue of congestion control for multicast communications and the problem is known to be highly complex. Scalability responsiveness stability and fairness with TCP are some of the required properties. This paper gives an in-depth study of current design ideas of active networks architectures. Active networks not only have the basic capability of forward packets toward their destination as of traditional packet network but also have the capability to support dynamic programming. Based on this study the design ideas of active networks are introduced into the research of congestion control algorithms. In purpose of solving their problems of traditional network we present a new congestion control algorithms based on active network-CCAAN. Simulations show that AMCA converges makes use of the available bandwidth and reacts rapidly to dynamic changes while being TCP-fair.
