Challenge 2: Dynamic Range of Requirements
Multitude of new proposals for congestion control algorithms
Examples (transport): High-Speed TCP, Scalable TCP, Fast TCP and BIC/CUBIC
Examples (mediation): XCP
Issues
Fairness
Stability/Robustness wrt e.g. running conditions/environment, and link layer characteristics
Note: still no common agreement in the IETF on which algorithm and protocol to choose

Open issue: is it possible to define unified congestion control mechanism that operates reasonable well in the whole range of scenarios that exist in the Internet ?
