Congestion Control and an Analysis of TCP-Friendly Rate Control
Overview This paper presents a history of congestion control research and an analysis of a specific rate-based congestion control protocol, TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC). Two taxonomies of congestion control mechanisms are presented, and later used to classify general end-to-end congestion control schemes including window-based and rate-based methods. The classic TCP congestion control mechanisms are introduced as an instance of window-based congestion control. To address the research in congestion control for UDP flows, datagram congestion control protocol (DCCP) and the congestion manager (CM) is discussed. Implemented in DCCP, TFRC is examined in detail for its TCP-friendliness and ability to provide smooth transmission for the applications.
