Researchers discovered that congestion control algorithms designed to ensure multiple users sending data over a network do so fairly are actually unable to avoid situations where some users are ...

In data center networks, the growth rate of switch buffer size is much smaller than that of network bandwidth capacity. This results in frequent network congestion, which requires congestion control.

TCP sometimes gets a bad rap because of the way its congestion-control algorithm hunts for bandwidth haphazardly and backs off conservatively at any sign of congestion. A properly tuned TCP ...

When users want to send data over the internet faster than the network can handle, congestion can occur — the same way traffic congestion snarls the morning commute into a big city. Computers and ...
