RH Ideas

• Separate congestion handling from packet xmit

• Treat all congestion signals identically

  • SACK, Duplicate Acks, ECN

• On congestion, send one packet per two ACKs for one RTT

  • Based on ideas by Janey Hoe

• Virtually eliminate unnecessary timeouts

  • Only needed when cwnd falls below 1 packet

• Algorithm general enough to apply beyond TCP
