Abstract — Theories and experiments have shown that average end-to-end delay of flows increases and TCP becomes inefficient and instable during network congestion period, regardless of which queue management and packet scheduling mechanism are being applied. Despite the concerns of network congestion problem have raised by the implementations of various per-flow based transmission protocols and queue policies on routers, there are still very few efforts to assess the feasibility of modifying network infrastructure to accommodate these new algorithms. It is practically impossible to reach the performance that claimed by the per-flow based algorithms, while updating routers is very costly and beyond the control of every individual network domain. In this paper, we present an application layer reliable multi-connection best effort framework which provides quality of service (QoS) for emergent communications with no or very
