Abstract

This paper proposes using an explicit rate control together with a simple window control for flow control in high-speed networks with resource reservations. The design justifications, the evaluation study, and the implementation results are presented. In particular, the idea of hard ACK and soft ACK in the context of end-to-end flow control is explored through simulation and the results are discussed
