Abstract

This paper proposes a new unicast TCP-Friendly protocol called RAAR-MT, which on-line predicts the tendency of traffic level in the near future and use this predicted information to exert multiple time scale traffic control at receivers. Simulation shows that this protocol can improve the performance in loss rate on self-similar traffic network. Even in traditional short-range dependent environment, the performance will not degrade severely. Compared with TFRC, RAAR-MT has better performance in TCP-Friendliness, intraprotocol fairness and smoothness. RAAR-MT is also a promising avenue of development for congestion control of multicast multimedia traffic since it is not a per-packet acknowledgement and is mainly implemented at receivers.
