Topic:

    Implementation a class of End-to-End Congestion Control Algorithms for the Internet

        Based on formulation of end-to-end congestion control, a class of minimum cost flow control(MCFC) algorithms for adjusting session rates or window sizes can be implemented at the transport layer of an IP network and can provide certain fairness properties and user priority options without requiring non-FIFO switches.

        In our project, two algorithm versions are introduced. One is coarse version, which is geared towards implementation in the current Internet, relying on the  end-to-end packet loss observations as indication of congestion. The other is a more complete version anticipates and Internet where sessions can solicit explicit congestion information through a concise probing mechanism.
