The TCP congestion control protocol is mainly designed for bandwidth symmetric paths. As two-way asymmetric connections will probably become common case in the future with the widespread use of ADSL, satellites and other high-speed technologies, it is important to make sure that congestion will be properly handled in these environments. To this end, a new Adaptive Class-based Queuing mechanism called ACQ for handling two-way TCP traffic over links that exhibit bandwidth asymmetry is proposed. ACQ runs at the entry of the slow link and relies on two separate classes, one for ACK packets and one for Data packets.
