Tcp Ftat (Fast Transmit Adaptive Transmission): A New End-To-End Congestion Control Algorithm, Mohammed Ahmed Melegy Mohammed Afifi

ETD Archive

Congestion Control in TCP is the algorithm that controls allocation of network resources for a number of competing users sharing a network. The nature of computer networks, which can be described from the TCP protocol perspective as unknown resources for unknown traffic of users, means that the functionality of the congestion control algorithm in TCP requires explicit feedback from the network on which it operates. Unfortunately this is not the way it works with TCP, as one of the fundamental principles of the TCP protocol is to be end-to-end, in order to be able to operate on any network, which …
