TCP Congestion Control With a Misbehaving Receiver

Overview This paper explores the operation of TCP congestion control when the receiver can misbehave, as might occur with a greedy Web client. The paper first demonstrates that there are simple attacks that allow a misbehaving receiver to drive a standard TCP sender arbitrarily fast, without losing end-to-end reliability. These attacks are widely applicable because they stem from the sender behavior specified in RFC 2581 rather than implementation bugs. Then it shows that it is possible to modify TCP to eliminate this undesirable behavior entirely, without requiring assumptions of any kind about receiver behavior.
