Abstract

A new, easily traceable congestion control scheme which only requires bandwidth information from rare packets that query routers is presented. In contrast with TCP, the (very simple) rate calculation can be performed by any node that sees the occasional feedback message from the receiver; this facilitates load based charging as well as enforcing appropriate behaviour. The control law, which is based on logistic growth, quickly converges to a fixed and stable rate. In simulations, the mechanism showed greater throughput than TCP while maintaining a very small loss ratio and a smaller average queue length.
