Abstract The traffic within data centers exhibits bursts and unpredictable patterns. This rapid growth in network traffic has two consequences: it surpasses the inherent capacity of the network’s link bandwidth and creates an imbalanced network load. Consequently, persistent overload situations eventually result in network congestion. The Software Defined Network (SDN) technology is employed in data centers as a network architecture to enhance performance. This paper introduces an adaptive congestion control strategy, named DA-DCTCP, for SDN-based Data Centers. It incorporates Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) and Round-Trip Time (RTT) to establish congestion awareness and an ECN marking model.… More >

Abstract The wireless network is limited by the transmission medium, and the transmission process is subject to large interference and jitter. This jitter can cause sporadic loss and is mistaken for congestion by the congestion control mechanism. The TCP Westwood protocol (referred to as TCPW) is such that it cannot distinguish between congestion loss and wireless jitter loss, which makes the congestion mechanism too sensitive and reduces bandwidth utilization. Based on this, the TCPW protocol is modified based on the estimate of the Round-Trip Time (referred to as RTT) value-called TCPW BR. The algorithm uses the More >
