There are two causes of network congestion: one is the lack of network resources, and the other is the irrational allocation of network resources. While traditional congestion control methods such as rate control, window mechanism, queue control, etc. can be applied to solve the congestion problem, but for the later congestion case, the fundamental solution is to make more effectively use of the network...
With the best-effort TCP transporting foreground traffic, below-best-effort transport protocols are developed to transport background traffic. However, we argue in this paper that: 1) two fixed levels of priority are not enough, and 2) the background and foreground transfers are subjective concepts which can only be decided by users but not arbitrarily determined by the network according to the application...
Peer-to-peer file sharing applications, which enable peers to establish multiple TCP connections between other peers to transfer data, pose new challenge to congestion control. Since conventional congestion control only aims to make each of those connections TCP-friendly, self users can increase the number of connections to grab a large share of the bandwidth, introducing more congestion and degrading...
As communication networks play an important role in today's life, network reliability becomes more critical than ever. Traditionally, network reliability is measured by connectivity or traffic volume. However, most of performance degradation problems are correlated with routing dynamic and congestion. It is necessary to include the both routing dynamics and congestion into network reliability computation...
