Draft:MaxNet

MaxNet is a redesigned TCP Internet congestion control framework based on explicit signaling of congestion information from routers to hosts. MaxNet achieves provable high performance with the following key features:

Equilibrium properties:
 * Efficient utilization of network capacity
 * Fairness of source rates (weighted Max-Min fairness)

Dynamic properties:
 * Provable stability for any topology
 * Fast dynamics: Low latency and jitter, fast utilization of link capacity as flow starts

Implementation:
 * Fully distributed, no per-flow information at router.
 * Very low router buffer requirement.
 * 23 bit signal in header allows 32 to 1015bps (one million Gbps) per source with 0.001% accuracy.
 * Only 2 integer operations per packet on router fast-path (max & add).
