Congestion balancing using reECN
João Taveira Araújo, Miguel Rio, George Pavlou · 2009
The emergence of a metric for congestion exposure at the network layer has the potential to significantly impact networking without disrupting the current Internet architecture. Re-ECN [1], a protocol for adding accountability for congestion, has been proposed as a means of aligning incentives between economic stakeholders, securing networks against denial of service and enforcing fairness between users. Our work builds on the information contained in re-ECN packet markings to balance congestion, rather than load, across domains according to expected upstream congestion. 2.
