Fuzzy based congestion control

Abstract EN

It is generally accepted that the problem of network congestion control remains a critical issue and a high priority, especially given the growing size, demand, and speed (bandwidth) of the increasingly integrated services networks.

Despite the research efforts spanning a few decades and the large number of different schemes proposed, there are no universally acceptable control solutions against congestion.

In this paper, we introduce a fuzzy based congestion control to detect the current level of network congestion and automatically determine the best window size for optimum network performance.

This technique results in greatly improved performance, a decrease in packet loss under bottleneck conditions.

We compared the fuzzy based congestion control to original TCP congestion control throughput and loss characteristics over a series of modifications to the TCP subsystem of Linux 2.4.20.

Fuzzy based congestion control enhances the
