In the first post in this series, we went with an overview of congestion control in networks (primarily to whet your appetite). Then, in the second post, we explored some of the basic concepts underpinning most of the loss-based congestion control algorithms.
Ah, so we’re back again. Let’s see if we can cover some distance this time.
In the last post, we went with an overview of congestion control in networks. In this post, lets take a look at some of the concepts mentioned in the previous post and some new ones to aid our understanding of this subject.
It’s been a while since I picked up the proverbial pen to jot down my ramblings. The usual trappings of work and life have encumbered me. But then again, the curious mind just needs to take a liking to something for the muse to strike. So here I am; digging into TCP congestion control mechanisms & the underlying algorithms.
