Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce a robust, self-adaptive and scalable congestion control mechanism for TCP. We change the window size of a TCP connection according to the information of the physical and available bandwidths of the end-to-end network path. The bandwidth information is obtained by an inline network measurement technique. We also borrowed algorithms from biophysics to update the window size: the logistic growth model and the Lotka-Volterra competition model. The greatest advantage of using these models is that we can refer previous discussions and results for various characteristics of the mathematical models, including scalability, convergence, fairness and stability in these models. Through mathematical analysis and simulation experiments, we compare the proposed mechanism with traditional TCP Reno, HighSpeed TCP, Scalable TCP and FAST TCP, and exhibit its effectiveness in terms of scalability to the network bandwidth and delay, convergence time, fairness among competing connections, and stability.
