A Novel False Congestion Detection Scheme for TCP over OBS Networks

This paper introduces a novel congestion control scheme for TCP over OBS networks, called Statistical Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (SAIMD), which aims to improve the throughput performance for high-bandwidth TCP flows in OBS networks. We show through analytic model and extensive simulations that the proposed scheme can effectively solve the false congestion detection problem and significantly outperform the conventional TCP counterparts without losing fairness.
