Abstract: | Several new protocols such as RBUDP, User-Level UDP, Tsunami, and SABUL, have been proposed as alternatives to TCP for high
speed data transfer. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of SABUL congestion control algorithm on SABUL performance
metrics such as bandwidth utilization, self-fairness, aggressiveness and average packet losses. We propose simple deterministic
and stochastic models of SABUL congestion control algorithm and use the models to assess these metrics. Our results explain
SABUL throughput oscillations, derive bounds on its aggressiveness/responsiveness, show that SABUL can be self-fair, and identify
conditions under which SABUL connections may experience excessive packet losses.
