Abstract
Methods and systems for providing congestion control to a transport control protocol implementation are described. A device detects that there is a congestion event on a transport control protocol (TCP) connection of the device. The device determines that a bandwidth estimate is lower than half a current value of a slow start threshold for the TCP connection. In response to the determination, the device changes the slow start threshold to half of the current value of the slow start threshold for the TCP connection. The bandwidth estimate can be the product of the eligible rate estimate and the minimum round trip time. In some implementations, the transport control protocol implementation is a TCP Westwood implementation.
