Delay-based congestion control: Flow vs. BitTorrent swarm perspectives

Delay-based congestion control: Flow vs. BitTorrent swarm perspectives

BitTorrent, one of the most widespread file-sharing P2P applications, recently introduced LEDBAT, a novel congestion control protocol aiming at (i) limiting the additional delay due to queuing, to reduce interference with the rest of user traffic (e.g., Web, VoIP and gaming) sharing the same access bottleneck, and (ii) efficiently using the available link capacity, to provide users with good Bi...

Delay-based AIMD congestion control

Our interest in the paper is investigating whether it is feasible to make modifications to the TCP congestion control algorithm to achieve greater decoupling between the performance of TCP and the level of buffer provisioning in the network. In this paper we propose a new family of delay-based congestion control algorithms that we refer to as delay-based AIMD.

The Case for Delay-based Congestion Control

We argue that, in the absence of explicit feedback, delaybased algorithms become the preferred approach for endto-end congestion control as networks scale up in capacity. Their advantage is small at low speed but decisive at high speed. The distinction between packet-level and flow-level problems of the current TCP exposes the difficulty of lossbased algorithms at large congestion windows.
