Abstract :
This paper examines a hop-by-hop flow control scheme and compares it with the operation of TCP end-to-end flow control. The individual link control scheme is described. Both schemes are simulated under bursty traffic in a network with 50 nodes and 96 links. It is found that the hop-by-hop scheme results in similar levels of utilization to TCP, but that the average queue size is 30 times smaller.
