Multimedia communications over Internet should
achieve adequate quality of service while maintaining
'fairness' in network resources allocation with respect
to competing connections. To achieve these conflicting
requirements the adopted transport protocol should provide
an adequate average throughput and implement congestion
control and flow control mechanisms designed to minimize
packet loss, delay and throughput variations.
The transport protocol proposed here is a modified version
of the window-based datagram congestion control protocol,
that implements a TCP-like congestion control mechanism
wherein the multiplicative decrease of the congestion
window is controlled by a non-linear function. Experimental
results show that this modified congestion control algorithm,
which is adjusted at run-time based on the estimated
mean round-trip time, is good candidate toward the aforementioned
requirements.
