Hello ICCRG folks,

We want to share with you our paper "ALCC: Migrating Congestion Control To The Application Layer In Cellular Networks”, which just appeared at the Journal of Systems Research (JSYS).

https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3989w2s4#main <https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3989w2s4#main>

The paper presents a framework that allows researchers to implement their congestion control protocols directly within the application layer on top of existing TCP sockets instead of UDP, i.e., without replacing the underlying TCP transport layer. The main goal of ALCC is to simplify the deployment of new congestion control protocols by leveraging the wide deployment of TCP and the idea that TCP flavors like Cubic tend to open an unnecessary large congestion window. The framework is open-source and you can try it out under
