Rate Based Congestion Control Over High Bandwidth/Delay Links

Overview As the network bandwidth and delay increase, traditional dominant transfer protocols on the Internet like TCP have shown inefficiency and instability to many applications involved in huge amounts of data transfer. The paper presents a rate based congestion control algorithm as an application level solution. This algorithm is deployed in the SABUL high performance data transfer protocol, which uses UDP to transfer data and TCP to transfer control information. SABUL sends data packet strictly based a smooth rate, and this rate is tuned to avoid congestion by the algorithm discussed in this paper. Such a rate based congestion control is TCP friendly and it has better bandwidth utilization than TCP.
