TCP ADMISSION CONTROL

摘要

Congestion at a network node can be aggravated by having too many TCP connections. A simple method of avoiding the bad effects of too many TCP connections is to limit the number of connections. Limiting the number of connections is achieved by an admission control which delays or even discards the connection set-up packets. TCP traffic flows are monitored to generate packet loss characteristics and when a certain condition is met, a connection request queue is disabled.
