Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, can include transmitting data packets on multiple flows through a network to an endpoint in accordance with a congestion window where each flow is assigned a different priority level for transmission and a corresponding different congestion window adjustment technique for use with that flow, monitoring for acknowledgements in response to the transmitted data packets; determining, based on a result of the monitoring, a delivery status for one or more of the transmitted data packets that corresponds to one of the multiple flows; and adjusting, responsive to the determined delivery status for the one flow, the congestion window based on the delivery status and the congestion window adjustment technique corresponding to the one flow.
