Inter-Protocol Fairness Evaluation of DQN-based Congestion Control Algorithms

초록

DQN-based NewReno and DQN-based CUBIC, which are two distinct versions of DQN-based congestion control algorithms, maintain as high a congestion window (Cwnd) as possible in a single flow to achieve higher average throughput than the existing CUBIC or NewReno. However, the suitability of the two algorithms for real-world environments has not been verified in terms of inter-protocol fairness. In this paper, an inter-protocol fairness verification experiment was conducted for DQN-based congestion control algorithms through NS-3-based simulation experiments that considered flows using two different congestion controls competing for a single bottleneck link. And we confirmed that fairness was maintained or improved.
