Explicit Congestion Control to avoid the Packet Losses using XCP-WINF in Wireless Networks

G. Surya, S. Anjuga, D. Elavarasi

Abstract


Explicit congestion control (XCC) is one of the answers for the problem occurs in current TCP algorithm. TCP has the some limitations of the limited fairness, higher queuing retard, static dynamic range, unstable throughput. This approach requires large buffer size at bottleneck routers to prevent transient packet losses and is slower in convergence to steady-state as compared to other methods. Routers furnish multibit feedback to origins which increases the throughput more accurate for the path bandwidth with larger convergence times. We map three possible algorithms for Explicit Congestion Control which holds efficiency from queue dynamics. This paper proposes two additional protocols for new flow control which are XCP and RCP and both have been designed as xcp-winf and rcp-winf. This approach evaluates the performance of XCP, xcp-winf and compares them with existing TCP congestion control.
