[e2e] Congestion control as a hot topic in IETF

[Emmanuel Lochin]

Hi all,

We've attempted with success to implement a Decongestion Control 
Transport Protocol following A. Snoeren and T. Bonald Infocom'09 paper : 
"Is the law of Jungle sustainable for the Internet". We defined an 
"Anarchical Networks" scenario and tested our proposal named DCTP with 
Achoo (proposed by A. Snoeren) over a simulated ISP-like topology.
Preliminary results tend to confirm that both Snoeren and Bonald are 
right and that such architecture is sustainable.
You'll find our first experiments in the slides available here:

Actually, it took me a while to fully understand why this is no alternative to the way Internet congestion control works today. But, for what it is worth, I found the overall idea intesting.
