ETC: An Elastic Transmission Control Using End-to-End Available Bandwidth Perception

Explore a groundbreaking conference talk on Elastic Transmission Control (ETC), a novel transport protocol that revolutionizes network congestion management. Delve into how ETC utilizes the instantaneous receipt rate of consecutive packets as a proactive congestion signal, enabling more efficient and fair network resource allocation. Learn about the innovative "pulling rate" concept and its role in optimizing sending rates before congestion occurs. Discover the elastic principle behind ETC's rate update mechanism and its superior performance compared to existing protocols. Examine the extensive experimental results showcasing ETC's improvements in throughput, latency, convergence speed, and fairness across simulated and real network environments.
