Network Border Patrol
The Internet s excellent scalability and robustness result in part from the end-to-end nature of Internet congestion control. End-to-end congestion control algorithms alone, however, are unable to prevent the congestion collapse and unfairness created by applications that are unresponsive to network congestion.To address these maladies, we propose and investigate a novel congestion-avoidance mechanism called network border patrol (NBP).
