Congestion control algorithms usually mistake resulting packets losses for congestion events and unnecessarily reduce their network usage. We propose an enhancement to the TCP-Friendly Rate Control protocol to overcome this issue. Our contribution proposes to suspend the data transfer, in a way similar to Freeze-TCP, when an upcoming disconnection is predicted. Furthermore, a probing mechanism is introduced to enable fast adaptation to new network conditions. We present a description of the additional freezing and resuming mechanisms. This proposal has been implemented in ns-2. Simulation results are thus compared to the regular behavior.", doi = "10.1145/1544012.1544049", url = "http://www.nicta.com.au/pub?id=1415", pdf-url = "http://www.nicta.com.au/pub?doc=1415", conference-url = "http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2008/studentworkshop.html" }
