Abstract

The following seven congestion control mechanisms for Flow-Aware Networks are described and discussed: EFM (Enhanced Flushing Mechanism), EFMP (Enhanced Flushing Mechanism with Priority), RAEF (Remove Active Elastic Flows), RBAEF (Remove and Block Active Elastic Flows), RPAEF (Remove and Prioritize in access Active Elastic Flows), RAMAF (Remove and Accept Most Active Flows), and SCCM (Simple Congestion Control Mechanism). The chapter also covers the issues of multilayer Flow-Aware Networks (MFAN), congestion control in wireless environments, and multipath routing for FAN.

The Internet“browser”... is the piece of software that puts a message on your computer screen informing you that the Internet is currently busy and you should try again later.
