Active Window Management: An Efficient Gateway Mechanism for TCP Traffic Control
Overview Many techniques have been proposed in the last few years to address performance degradations in end-to-end congestion control. Although these techniques require parameter tuning to operate in different congestion scenarios, they miss the challenging target of both minimizing network delay and keeping goodput close to the network capacity. This paper proposes a new mechanism, called Active Window Management (AWM), which addresses these targets by stabilizing the queue length in the network gateways. The proposed technique is implemented in the network access gateways, that is, in the gateways through which both the incoming and outgoing packets related to a given TCP connection are forced to go, whatever the routing strategy used in the network.
