Measurement of RTT for TCP Congestion Control
Eun-Gi Kim · The Transactions of the Korea Information Processing Society · 2000
TCP congestion control algorithm prevents network congestion through the control of outgoing traffic size. The network, therefore, should monitor the incoming traffic size of a TCP to determine whether or not a TCP follows standard congestion control algorithms. Some TCP friendly test algorithms are proposed, But, these algorithms cannot be used in real environments because a router in a network does not know the RTT of a TCP flow. In this study, we propose a new RTT determination algorithm that can be used in a router. Our proposed algorithms is validated through the simulation studies.
