Abstract: In various embodiments, a congestion control module within a transport stack limits the rate at which packets are transmitted from a server to a client device based on a percentage of the available capacity of a network path through which the packets are transmitted. In some embodiments, the available network path capacity can be determined by first performing a linear regression using (1) send durations over which packets associated with encoded frames are transmitted, and (2) corresponding reception durations over which the packets associated with the encoded frames are received, in order to determine a line that relates send duration and reception duration. After the line is determined, the available network path capacity can be computed as an estimated intersection between the determined line and the line y=x, with the intersection being approached as a limit.
