Congestion Control<br />

We introduce a Congestion Window<br />

• Thus the sender’s window size will be determined both by the receiver<br />

and in reaction to congestion in the network<br />

Sender maintains 2 window sizes:<br />

• Receiver-advertised window (rwnd)<br />

• advertised window is flow control imposed by receiver<br />

• Congestion window (CWND)<br />

• congestion window is flow control imposed by sender<br />

Actual window size = min(rwnd, CWND)<br />

To deal with congestion, sender uses several strategies:<br />

• Slow start<br />

• Additive increase of CWND<br />

• Multiplicative decrease of CWND<br />
