Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for improved TCP congestion control designed to address 'mixed coarse-grained-fine-grained signal' scenarios. A TCP sender of the present technology achieves this improvement by leveraging two TCP congestion windows for a TCP connection: (1) a “fine-grained TCP signal-dependent congestion window” which is adjusted in response to “fine-grained” TCP congestion signals (as intelligently classified/defined by the present technology); and (2) a “coarse-grained TCP signal-dependent congestion window” which is adjusted in response to “coarse-grained” TCP congestion signals (as intelligently classified/defined by the present technology). With these two novel/unique congestion windows at disposal, the TCP sender can then dynamically (and intelligently) select an appropriate congestion window for dictating packet transmission for a TCP connection (e.g., the contemporaneously smaller congestion window). The TCP sender can also dynamically (and intelligently) synchronize the two congestion windows in order to ensure smoother transitions between utilized congestion windows.
