Abstract :
To guarantee network stability while supporting multimedia applications over the Internet, a new dynamically adjusted TCP-friendly additive increase and multiplicative decrease (AIMD) congestion control algorithm, DTAIMD, is proposed. By studying the competition behavior of TCP and AIMD flows, the TCP-friendly condition for the AIMD (α, β) congestion control is analytically derived. Quality of service (QoS) for multimedia playback applications is enhanced by choosing an appropriate parameter pair of (α, β). Simulation results show that the proposed DTAIMD congestion control scheme is TCP-friendly and suitable for supporting multimedia playback applications.
