Fairness improvement method using explicit congestion notification for QUIC

抄録

QUIC is a transport protocol that adds congestion control, retransmission control, and TLS to UDP. QUIC can use the same congestion control algorithms as TCP. In previous work, we have shown that communication performance becomes unfair concerning the buffer size of the shared bottleneck link of two flows, one using CUBIC and the other BBR congestion control algorithms within QUIC. In this study, we improve the communication fairness performance at different bottleneck link buffer sizes by using Round Trip Time (RTT) and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to regulate congestion control aggressiveness when CUBIC and BBR compete within QUIC through actual experiments.
