Abstract

This paper describes a congestion control algorithm that operates within a connectionless network environment. The algorithm controls a source's transmission rate, with that rate determined by feedback from the point of congestion. The algorithm is well suited to operate from within the IP layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite. An analytic model is developed to examine isolated aspects of the algorithm's behavior. A simulator was written to further test its behavior under a variety of topologies, loads, and path bandwidths. The results achieved are presented.
