An approach to the implementation of the dynamical priorities method

Abstract

In this work we consider a problem of optimizing the data transmission mechanism of Internet transport protocols. We use a priority discipline without time measurements by a receiver, which has the property of universality. The possibility of an application of this discipline for improving performances of the original Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is discussed. We propose to apply the dynamical priority method to avoid time measurements by the receiver. Instead of this only mean queue lengths at the sending side have to be measured. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
