This work investigates the congestion control state-of-the-art algorithms. Then, presents an Enhanced TCP-Friendly Rate Control protocol, called ETFRC, as a means of enhanced congestion control for media traffic over Internet. Three modifications to TFRC are proposed in this thesis so as to develop the ETFRC. The first modification is based on modifying the frequency of the feedback messages sent by TFRC receiver to its sender upon which the sending rate calculation is done. The second modification tackled the number of samples used by the TFRC receiver to calculate the loss event rate as...
