Dilemma of Proactive Congestion Control Protocols
Pages 176 - 177
Abstract
Reactive congestion control (RCC) protocols have undergone decades of evolution, where senders first send data packets and then back off when congestion occurs. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in proactive congestion control (PCC) that allocates bandwidth before transmission. Despite its potential, we found that there are certain scenarios where PCC may fall short. In this paper, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of PCC and motivate further exploration of this area. We conduct case studies and leverage NS3 simulations to compare state-of-the-art PCC with RCCs, delving into the real dilemma of PCC.
