Abstract
This chapter presents various congestion control schemes for transport protocols together with a number of metrics for the evaluation of these protocols with special emphasis on fairness-related measures. The paper analyzes some properties of the TFRC algorithm, which provides applications with congestion control mechanisms that can be applied for streaming media. Streaming media is a delivery method of media content, which is simultaneously received by, and displayed to, the end-user while it is being delivered by the provider.
