Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of satellite communication, in particular to a satellite network congestion control method based on bandwidth estimation. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of satellite communication technology, satellite communication network occupies an extremely important position in the field of communication. Studies have shown that there will be many problems when the TCP protocol is directly applied to the satellite network, the most prominent of which is that the long-delay characteristic makes the round-trip delay significantly increased, which further leads to the degradation of network transmission performance. Aiming at the long-delay characteristics of satellite networks, the Hybla algorithm is proposed. By modifying the window change rules in the slow start and congestion avoidance phases, the algorithm uses normalized RTT to reduce the correlation between window changes and RTT, and...

Problems solved by technology

First of all, since the link status cannot be accurately predicted, when the delay increases due to congestion, the aggressive window growth method of the Hybla algorithm will aggravate the congestion instead.

Secondly, although the Hybla algorithm can achieve high network throughput, its exc
