A New TCP Congestion Control With Empty Queues and Scalable Stability

Overview This paper describes a new congestion avoidance system designed to maintain dynamic stability on networks of arbitrary delay, capacity, and topology. This is motivated by recent work showing the limited stability margins of TCP Reno/RED as delay or network capacity scale up. Based on earlier work establishing mathematical requirements for local stability, new flow control laws are developed that satisfy these conditions together with a certain degree of fairness in bandwidth allocation. When a congestion measure signal from links to sources is available, the system can satisfy also the key objectives of high utilization and emptying the network queues in equilibrium.
