Subject: [rmcat] Update on coupled congestion control

Dear all,

We'd like to share an update about our work on coupled congestion control: we have developed and evaluated an algorithm that we think works pretty well, and documented our results in this technical report:
http://safiquli.at.ifi.uio.no/paper/fse-tech-report.pdf

A shorter version of this document was accepted for publication in the ACM SIGCOMM'14 Capacity Sharing Workshop.

The results were done with simulations, using TFRC (as a representative for a multimedia-oriented congestion control scheme) and RAP (as a rate-based AIMD scheme); we're currently working with LEDBAT (as a representative for a delay-based scheme), and once we've covered that, we'll approach real-life testing!

The updated algorithm (algorithm 2 in the document, on page 7) isn't incorporated in draft-welzl-rmcat-coupled-cc yet, we're working on an update of this draft and plan to submit it soon, stay tuned!

Any comments are very welcome!

Cheers,
Michael
