Software-Defined Congestion Control Algorithm for IP Networks

Congestion Control Using OpenFlow in Software Defined Data Center Networks

this paper studies congestion control issue in data center networks and proposes a potential solution based on OpenFlow protocol. A main feature of the emerging data center networks is their performance in hosting different cloud applications and services. Since congestion management is necessary to effectively utilize numerous data center applications, in this paper we present an efficient met...

Congestion Control Schemes for TCP/IP Networks

This paper describes six methods for controlling congestion for TCP connections. The first four, Slow Start algorithm [5], Tri-S [8], DUAL [7], and TCP Vegas [1] treat the network as a black box, in that the only way to detect congestion is through packet loss and changes in round trip time, or throughput. The last two, Random Early Detection [4] and Explicit Congestion Notification [3] depend ...

Hybrid Random Early Detection Algorithm for Improving End-to-End Congestion Control in TCP/IP Networks

The successful operation of the present Internet depends mainly upon TCP/IP which employs end-to-end congestion control mechanisms built in the end hosts. In order to further enhance this paradigm of end-to-end control the Random Early Detection algorithm has been proposed, which starts to mark or drop packets at the onset of congestion. The paper addresses issues related to the choice of queue...
