| Abstract | Loss-load curves are a recently proposed feedback mechanism for rate-based congestion control in datagram computer networks. In the loss-load model, packet loss inside the network is a direct function of sender transmission rates, and senders have the responsibility of choosing their own transmission rate based on the loss-load tradeoff curve provided by the network. Earlier work has provided the mathematical basis for the loss-load model and provided preliminary simulation results demonstrating its responsiveness, fairness, and stability. The loss-load model works well for simple network environments where each source has many packets to transmit, and wishes to maximize raw throughput.In this paper, the applicability of loss-load curves is extended to senders with more general network traffic requirements, such as file transfer activities. In particular, the paper considers senders wishing to minimize the response time for a transfer of N packets. When N is small, a sender chooses a low transmission rate, to minimize the probability of packet loss. When N is large, a higher transmission rate is chosen to increase raw throughput. The loss-load curve mechanism provides necessary and sufficient information for senders at the edges of the network to choose a proper transmission rate based on their traffic requirements and the current network load.Simulation results show that the loss-load mechanism is effective in achieving high network utilization and minimizing response time for file transfers. The loss-load model also does a good job of providing equitable service to senders with different traffic workloads and different round trip times. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
