LEDBAT is an experimental delay-based congestion control algorithm
that attempts to utilize the available bandwidth on an end-to-end
path while limiting the consequent increase in queueing delay on the
path. LEDBAT uses changes in one-way delay measurements to limit
congestion that the flow itself induces in the network. LEDBAT is
designed for use by background bulk-transfer applications; it is
designed to be no more aggressive than TCP congestion control and to
yield in the presence of any competing TCP flows, thus limiting
interference with the network performance of the competing flows.
