End-to-end and network-assisted congestion control. Data-center networks control congestion hop-by-hop. In this technique, a downstream router/host explicitly informs the previous hop upstream router/host about its free buffer space, and the upstream router only sends a packet if the downstream router has buffer space. A. In the three-hop example below, the first and third connections have capacity R, whereas the router link has R/2. The red and blue connections are similarly handled and have the same maximum throughput*. What is the red connection's maximum throughput? B-2-in: original data R R/2 R-hour ww B. Hop-by-hop congestion control: buffer overflow retransmission? C. Does hop-by-hop congestion control need retransmission?
