Problems with “Basic” FACK
Problems with “Basic” FACK
- During slowstart, ssthresh = cwnd/2 can be too large.
- Instantly decreasing cwnd by a factor of two results in confinement of transmissions to 1/2 of a RTT.
- Paper presents two new algorithms to address these problems. Saw some success with these algorithms, but also some problems.
- Currently working on a single algorithm which addresses both problems more cleanly.
