Abstract

A method of detecting congestion in a computer network uses a receiving station which determines a first number of messages missing in a first acknowledgment window. The station then determines a second number of messages missing in a subsequent acknowledgement window. The station then measures congestion on the network in response to an increase in the number of missing messages as indicated by the first number of missing messages in the first acknowledgement window and the second number of missing messages in the second acknowledgement window.
