TCP is designed to operate in a wide range of networks. Without any knowledge of the underlying network and traffic characteristics, TCP is doomed to continuously increase and decrease its congestion window size to embrace changes in network or traffic. In light of emerging popularity of centrally controlled Software-Defined Networks (SDNs), one might wonder whether we can take advantage of the global network view available at the controller to make faster and more accurate congestion control decisions. In this paper, we identify the need and the underlying requirements for a congestion control adaptation mechanism. To this end, we propose OpenTCP as a TCP adaptation framework that works in SDNs. OpenTCP allows network operators to define rules for tuning TCP as a function of network and traffic conditions. We also present a preliminary implementation of OpenTCP in a ~4000 node data center.
