TCP Rate Control and Alternatives

Overview The defacto network protocol standard of the TCP/IP protocol suite offers us many advantages and strengths, but the management and enforcement of QoS (Quality of Service) are not among them. Many standards have attempted to address this deficiency with little success — RSVP, expanded bandwidth, CoS/ToS, routers’ queuing solutions, and more. Packeteer’s PacketShaper product line with its patented TCP Rate Control delivers an effective QoS solution.
