Abstract
Congestion control by adding a congestion signal tag header to each of one or more transmission packets prior to transmission of the transmission packets by the first node to a second node, the congestion signal tag header specifying one or more congestion signal types and, for each of the congestion signal types, specifying a congestion signal value by providing an initial congestion signal value for the congestion signal value; receiving one or more return packets generated by the second node in response to receipt of the transmission packets, the return packets including a congestion signal reflection header having one or more return congestion signal values, and the return congestion signal values corresponding respectively to the congestion signal types; and determining whether transmission rate control is necessary based on the return congestion signal values.
