Abstract
A rate based flow and congestion control mechanism for packet communications whereby the acceleration and deceleration of the sending rate is moderated to be responsive to the traffic encountered. The method of the present invention also reduces oscillation in the transmission rate by being responsive to the characteristics of the network traffic and allowing burst intervals to be borrowed on a periodic basis.
