Adaptive Protocols for Reliable Internet Data Transport
For delay-sensitive applications, two complementary sets of results are obtained. The first set of results are regarding the Redundancy Estimation Protocol (REP), which provides adaptive error recovery using a forward error control (FEC) scheme in which redundancy rate is adjusted, in an attempt to maintain a desired quality of service (QoS), based on feed-back from the receiver. The second set of results are regarding the delay-sensitive TACK (DSTACK) protocol, which is a modification of GTACK that provides adaptive congestion control for delay-sensitive applications. Integration of REP and DSTACK to obtain a protocol that provides adaptive error recovery and congestion control is left as a topic for future work.
