Myths about Congestion Management in High Speed Networks

Weaknesses in several recently proposed ideas about congestion control and avoidance in high-speed netwroks are identified. Both sides of the debate concerning prior reservation...

A binary feedback scheme for congestion avoidance in computer networks

We propose a scheme for congestion avoidance in networks using a connectionless protocol at the network layer. The scheme uses a minimal amount of feedback from the network to t...

A delay-based approach for congestion avoidance in interconnected heterogeneous computer networks

In heterogeneous networks, achieving congestion avoidance is difficult because the congestion feedback from one subnetwork may have no meaning to sources on other subnetworks. W...

Congestion control in computer networks: issues and trends

Popular myths that cheaper memory, high-speed links and high-speed processors will solve the problem of congestion in computer networks are shown to be false. A simple definitio...

Congestion avoidance in computer networks with a connectionless network layer: concepts, goals and methodology

The authors compare the concept of congestion with that of flow control and congestion control. A number of possible alternatives for congestion avoidance are identified. From t...
