RATE BASED CONGESTION CONTROL FOR PACKET NETWORKS

摘要

The invention herein described consists of a method to compute in a end-to-end fashion the sending rate of data, audio and video flows over a packet switching network such as the Internet Protocol Network. The sending rate is computed as a function of the data sent in the recent past and as a function of a probing function w(t) that is dynamically set by taking into account signals of network congestion and the network changing available bandwidth.
