Opportunistic Linked-Increases Congestion Control Algorithm for MPTCP
Nicolas Gast, Ramin Khalili, Jean‐Yves Le Boudec, Miroslav V. Popovic · 2014
This document describes the mechanism of OLIA, the Opportunistic Linked Increases Algorithm. OLIA is a congestion control algorithm for MPTCP. The current congestion control algorithm of MPTCP, LIA [4], forces a tradeoff between optimal congestion balancing and responsiveness. OLIA's design departs from this tradeoff and provide these properties simultaneously. Hence, it solves the identified performance problems with LIA while retaining non- flappiness and responsiveness behavior of LIA, as shown by different studies [5, 6, 7, 8]. OLIA is now part of the UCLouvain's MPTCP implementation [9, 11].
