Analysis and Simulation of a Router-Assisted Congestion Control Mechanism

We present a congestion control algorithm for the Internet and assess Its stability The algorithm has low operation complexity; and exercises control over Sources without keeping per-low information Given the lack of support for explicit-rate feedback in the Internet we discuss an implementation where feedback is based on explicit binary indications We assess the stability through a discrete-time model and present simulation results showing the efficacy of the algorithm The obtained results indicate that when the algorithm is used to control sources that support explicit binary feedback. us stability is not affected and its performance is close to that obtained with sources that support explicit-rate feedback
