Abstract
Technologies are described for performing hybrid rate control that switches between a delay-based mode and a passive loss-based mode for a flow of network traffic. The switching can be performed based on the presence of loss-based TCP network flows. For example, rate control can be performed for a flow of network traffic in a delay-based mode. When the presence of a loss-based TCP network flow is detected, the flow of network traffic can be switched from the delay-based mode to a passive loss-based mode and rate control can be performed in the passive loss-based mode. When the loss-based TCP flow is no longer detected, the flow of network traffic can be switched back to the delay-based mode.
