Abstract
Many Internet applications need high bandwidth but are not time sensitive. This motivates a congestion control "scavenger" that voluntarily yields to higher-priority applications, thus improving overall user experience. However, the existing scavenger protocol, LEDBAT, often fails to yield, has performance shortcomings, and requires a codebase separate from other transport protocols.
