Abstract
Given the technical flaws with---and the increasing non-observance of---the TCP-friendliness paradigm, we must rethink how the Internet should manage bandwidth allocation. We explore this question from first principles, but remain within the constraints of the Internet's current architecture and commercial arrangements. We propose a new framework, Recursive Congestion Shares (RCS), that provides bandwidth allocations independent of which congestion control algorithms flows use but consistent with the Internet's economics. We show that RCS achieves this goal using game-theoretic calculations and simulations as well as network emulation.
