A Principled Look at the Utility of Feedback in Congestion Control
Mohit P. Tahiliani, Vishal Misra, Kadangode K. Ramakrishnan · 2019
Networked applications are ubiquitous and their performance requirements are becoming increasingly stringent. Network congestion can seriously impact performance contributing to increased latency, packet loss and poor throughput. To address these problems, the networking community has come up with a large number of congestion control algorithms. Congestion control schemes developed over the past few decades can be classified into two broad classes: one based on an end-system's perception of network congestion and the other based on the network providing feedback to flows that pass through it.
