Claim 18:
19. The method according to claim 18, wherein
in the step of determining the trend of the transmission rate, the trend of the transmission rate is determined over a time period starting at an instant before and closest to a most recent change from a previous congestion control state to the current congestion control state, wherein the previous and the current congestion control states specify respectively a previous and a current rule for increasing the maximum amount of unacknowledged data which the transmitting node may transmit size upon receipt of data acknowledgements when neither congestion nor data losses have been detected, and the previous congestion control state specifies a faster rate of increasing the maximum amount of unacknowledged data which the transmitting node may transmit size than the current congestion control state.
