(1) Evolution of TCP congestion control algorithm at UC Berkeley

1st generation: TCP Tahoe (1988) and TCP Reno (1990) --> Compound TCP (Windows OS)

2nd generation: TCP Friendly Rate Control (2000) --> TCP Cubic (Linux OS)
FAST TCP based on optimization theory (2006) and adaptive utility-based TCP based on control theory (2006)

3rd generation: Explicit Rate Control Protocol (2002) which needs to modify TCP header
XCP (2002), RCP (2005) and API-RCP (2007)

(2) Improve TCP performance using control theoretic approach

adaptive utility-based TCP based on control theory (2006)

Yang Hong's answer to question on control system design has been recommended by peer researchers as the most-popular answer at ResearchGate

"What are trends in control theory and its applications in physical systems (from a research point of view)?"

Yang Hong's social media popularity per article = Number of followers/Number of articles = 152/36 = 4 followers per article (similar to 4 goals per hockey game) = top 0.1% popularity for technical articles evaluated by peer researchers = the most popular Ottawa-based researcher

Source code developed by Yang Hong for idQ library of HybridAuth (All the source codes are committed by inBay Tech's CTO)

[Provider] idQ has been merged to the stable release v2.9.0 of HybridAuth

If I develop c code for adaptive utility-based TCP based on control theory, I do NOT have resource for evaluating the performance of adaptive utility-based TCP.

If the team of TCPDive wants to improve TCP performance using control theoretic approach, we can work together to make it happen.
