Abstract

Rate control, in conjunction with congestion control, is important and necessary to maintain both stability of overall network and high quality of individual data transfer flows. In this paper, we study stable rate control algorithms for streaming data, based on control theory. We introduce various control rules to maintain both sending rate and receiver buffer stable. We also propose an adaptive two-state control mechanism to ensure the rate control algorithms are compatible to TCP traffics. Extensive experimental results are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the rate control algorithms.
