ABSTRACT
In this paper, we compare the performance of TCP/IP traf-
c running on dierent rate based ABR ow control al-
gorithms such as EFCI, ERICA and FMMRA by exten-
sive simulations. The FMMRA algorithm is shown to ex-
hibit the favorable features of least buer requirement, fair
bandwidth allocationto TCP connections, fast and accurate
ACR rate adjustment according to the changes of network
trac, and the highest eective TCP throughput.
1. Introduction
The primary goal of ABR service is intended to economi-
