Abstract
End-to-end packet losses of one or more traffic streams transmitted across a congested network may be reduced by setting the bandwidths of the corresponding traffic streams at critical values thereof at one or more control points along the network topology. The critical value of the bandwidths may be determined by monitoring buffer occupancy at the control point(s). Buffer occupancy may be determined by periodically sweeping down from a maximum bandwidth value according to a monotonically decaying exponential function.
