TCP Symbiosis: Congestion Control Mechanisms of TCP Based on Lotka-Volterra Competition Model
Overview This paper proposes TCP Symbiosis, which has a robust, self-adaptive and scalable congestion control mechanism for TCP. The method is quite different from existing approaches. The paper changes the window size of a TCP connection in response to information of the physical and available bandwidths of the end-to-end network path. The bandwidth information is obtained by an inline network measurement technique one has previously developed. Using the bandwidth information one can resolve the inherent problems in existing AIMD/MIMD-based algorithms such as periodic packet loss and unfairness caused by the difference in RTT. The paper borrows algorithms from biophysics to update the window size: the logistic growth model and the Lotka-Volterra competition model.
