Delay-gradient congestion control

"TIMELY" redirects here. For other uses, see punctuality.

In computer networking, delay-gradient congestion control refers to a class of congestion control algorithms, which react to the differences in round-trip delay time (RTT), as opposed to classical congestion control methods, which react to packet loss^[1] or an RTT threshold being exceeded.^[2][3] Such algorithms include CAIA Delay-Gradient (CDG)^[2][4] and TIMELY.^[3]
