Abstract:
We introduce a transmission control protocol with a delay based congestion avoidance that utilizes a proportional plus derivative controller. The derivative part of the controller is shown to be well suited to effectively control TCP sessions, given the relative shallow buffer space of network elements. We demonstrate the competitive performance of the protocol via open source based network experiments over a research network and the Internet.
