Abstract

In this paper we study a-priori bandwidth estimation algorithms for TCP flows. An RTT-based bandwidth allocator is proposed, which outperforms a broad class of peak-rate and static allocation flow switching solutions. Our findings suggest that a-priori bandwidth estimation (i.e, before the TCP data transfer phase takes place) is indeed feasible and serves to design simple, yet efficient, dynamic bandwidth allocation rules for ISP access links.
