Closed-Loop Congestion Control Protocol Design for Elastic Traffic

In the present paper, we outline few characteristics that every viable congestion control protocol for elastic traffic should satisfy. We provide and outline ways by which these characteristics can be measured and verified. We'll focus in our illustrations on protocols designed for ABR (Available Bit Rate) traffic; nonetheless transmission protocols designed for the Internet (IP) can be easily evaluated using our methods and verifications.
