Congestion control in computer networks: issues and trends
Open accessAbstract
Myths about congestion control are examined, and an explanation of why the trend toward cheaper memory, higher-speed links, and higher-speed processors has intensified the need to solve the congestion problem is provided. A number of proposed solutions are described, and a classification of congestion problems as well as their solutions is presented. The reasons why the problem is so difficult are identified, and the protocol design decisions that affect the design of a congestion control scheme are discussed. The author's recent proposals, namely, timeout-based congestion control, a DECbit scheme and a delay-based scheme for congestion avoidance are described, and areas for future research are suggested.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
