This paper describes implementation and performance of TCP MaxNet, a new protocol which uses a multi-bit explicit signaling approach to congestion control. The MaxNet sender algorithm operates by adjusting its congestion window in response to explicit feedback from the most congested link encountered in the network. This scheme has numerous theoretical advantages over the ubiquitous practice of adjusting the congestion window based on the total amount of congestion in the path. The MaxNet control scheme is implemented on top of the existing Linux TCP/IP protocol framework and its performance is evaluated in the high bandwidth-delay environment of the WAN in Lab.
