TCP ex Machina: Computer-Generated Congestion Control Keith Winstein and Hari Balakrishnan Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass. {keithw, hari}@ ABSTRACT This paper describes a new approach to end-to-end congestion con- Traffic model Prior assumptions trol on a multi-user network. Rather than manually formulate each about network Objective function endpoint’s reaction to congestion signals, as in traditional protocols, we developed a program called Remy that generates congestion- Remy control algorithms to run at the endpoints. In this approach, the protocol designer specifies their prior knowledge or assumptions about the network and an objective that the algorithm will try to achieve, e.g., high throughput and low Existing TCP RemyCC queueing delay. Remy then produces a distributed algorithm—the control rules for the independent endpoints—that tries to achieve ns-2 this objective. TCP In simul
