On Fair Window Control for TCP with ECN using Congestion Pricing

This paper focuses on a TCP window-based flow control mechanism with Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). We investigate the fundamental problem of achieving a fair window control for TCP, which cooperates with ECN. This is done by using feedback congestion pricing as a means of estimating the state of bottleneck router. The problem is solved by achieving network optimal performance, which maximize the total user utilities. We then look at the simulation of such scheme.
