See the relevant discussion on the talk page . (March 2008) Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) uses a network congestion-avoidance algorithm that includes various aspects of an additive increase/multiplicative decrease (AIMD) scheme, with other schemes such as slow-start to achieve congestion avoidance. The TCP congestion-avoidance algorithm i...
