We recently introduced a new transport protocol, called DTP, which use
s send time control as its flow control scheme. In this scheme, the ti
me at which a packet is sent by a source is computed from estimates of
round-trip time, traffic in the network, and bottleneck service time,
In this paper, we propose an estimation technique for the send-time c
ontrol scheme. The estimation scheme proposed here reflects the charac
teristics of network dynamics which have been observed on the Internet
. The results show that DTP performs much better than TCP In all the s
cenarios considered.
