TCP was designed to provide stream-oriented communication service for bulk data transfer applications (e.g., FTP and Email). With four-decade development, Internet applications have undergone significant changes, which now involve highly dynamic traffic pattern and message-oriented communication paradigm. However, the impact of this substantial evolution on congestion control (CC) has not been fully studied. Most of the network transports today still make the long-held assumption about application traffic, i.e., a byte stream with an unlimited data arrival rate.
