I-TCP:An AIMD Algorithm for High-speed Long Distance Networks
Lingda Wu · Journal of National University of Defense Technology · 2006
To investigate the problem of the congestion control over high-speed long distance networks,this paper presents a new AIMD congestion control algorithm,I-TCP,which is based on a model of network of synchronous AIMD sources competing for a shared bandwidth under drop-tail queuing.With a reasonable design of a high-speed mode,a low-speed mode and the mode switch rule,I-TCP is suitable for deployment in the high-speed long distance networks as well as the traditional low speed networks.Simulation experiments show that the AIMD algorithm of I-TCP performs better than current TCP implementations in terms of efficiency,fairness and network responsiveness over high-speed long distance networks.
