Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer-readable medium comprising: code to receive, at a receiving device via a network, network congestion information; code to receive, at the receiving device from a sending device via the network, honesty accounting information, wherein the receiving device is in a feedback loop with the sending device; code to increment a first counter and a second counter based on the network congestion information and honesty accounting information, respectively; code to generate a plurality of feedback signals reflecting states of the first and second counters using a common set of at least three bits in the plurality of feedback signals, the common set of at least three bits defining a first set of code points mapped to -states of the first counter and a second set of code points mapped to states of the second counter such that each individual code point represents a different one of the states of the first or second counters and each one of the states of the first and second counters is represented by one code point; and code to transmit the plurality of feedback signals to the sending device in the network.
