 | | We do not claim that a transport protocol such as DCCP would always be implemented in the kernel, and do not attempt to evaluate the relative difficulty of modifying code inside the kernel vs. outside the kernel in any case. |
 | | It would avoid the application writer needing to implement the control part of the congestion control mechanism, but it is unclear how easily multiple congestion control algorithms (such as receiver- based TFRC) can be supported, given that the form of congestion feedback usually needs to be closely coupled to the congestion control algorithm being used. |
 | | Providing Congestion Control at the Transport Layer The concerns from the discussions above have convinced us that the best way to provide congestion control to applications that currently use UDP is to provide congestion control at the transport layer, in a transport protocol used as an alternative to UDP. |
