RFC 896 Congestion Control in IP / TCP
نویسنده
چکیده
Congestion control is a recognized problem in complex networks. We have discovered that the Department of Defense’s Internet Protocol (IP) , a pure datagram protocol, and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), a transport layer protocol, when used together, are subject to unusual congestion problems caused by interactions between the transport and datagram layers. In particular, IP gateways are vulnerable to a phenomenon we call "congestion collapse", especially when such gateways connect networks of widely different bandwidth. We have developed solutions that prevent congestion collapse.

RFC 3168 The Addition of ECN to IP September 2001
This memo specifies the incorporation of ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) to TCP and IP, including ECN’s use of two bits in the IP header.
متن کاملA Proposal to add Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP
This note describes a proposed addition of ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) to IP. TCP is currently the dominant transport protocol used in the Internet. We begin by describing TCP’s use of packet drops as an indication of congestion. Next we argue that with the addition of active queue management (e.g., RED) to the Internet infrastructure, where routers detect congestion before the queue...
متن کاملRobust Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) Signaling with Nonces
This note describes the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)-nonce, an optional addition to ECN that protects against accidental or malicious concealment of marked packets from the TCP sender. It improves the robustness of congestion control by preventing receivers from exploiting ECN to gain an unfair share of network bandwidth. The ECN-nonce uses the two ECN-Capable Transport (ECT)codepoint...

This document contains the profile for Congestion Control Identifier 3, TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC), in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). CCID 3 should be used by senders that want a TCP-friendly sending rate, possibly with Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), while minimizing abrupt rate changes. Floyd, et al.

متن کاملUpdating TCP to Support Rate-Limited Traffic
This document provides a mechanism to address issues that arise when TCP is used for traffic that exhibits periods where the sending rate is limited by the application rather than the congestion window. It provides an experimental update to TCP that allows a TCP sender to restart quickly following a rate-limited interval. This method is expected to benefit applications that send rate-limited tr...
