Window-Based Congestion Control

Transmission control protocol (TCP) or Internet Protocol (IP) has undergone several transformations. There are many proposals that have been put forward to change the mechanisms of TCP congestion control to improve its performance. Much work has been done on congestion avoidance/control, mostly, previous studies on window-based congestion control were based on the starting network, adaptive congestion, end to end mechanism, however, network overloading should be prevented and packet losses should also be minimized. The aim of this research is to introduce a Proactive Explicit Rate Control (PERC) algorithm for max-min fair rates that will take care of network overloading and packet losses by sharing. We introduced a PERC algorithm for max-min fair rates that can give priority to short flows as needed.
