How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14442687 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Jacobson congestion control algorithm Context triple: [Van Jacobson, knownFor, Jacobson congestion control algorithm]
-
A.
Random Early Detection
Random Early Detection is a congestion avoidance mechanism for packet-switched networks that probabilistically drops packets before a queue becomes full to signal and control incipient congestion.
-
B.
The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP
The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP is an IETF standard (RFC 3168) that specifies how IP and TCP can signal and respond to network congestion without relying solely on packet loss.
-
C.
CoDel
CoDel (Controlled Delay) is an active queue management algorithm designed to control network bufferbloat by keeping packet queuing delays low without requiring manual tuning.
-
D.
Explicit Congestion Experienced
Explicit Congestion Experienced (ECE) is a TCP/IP header flag used in Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to indicate that network congestion has been detected without dropping packets.
-
E.
Simulation-based comparisons of Tahoe, Reno, and SACK TCP
"Simulation-based Comparisons of Tahoe, Reno, and SACK TCP" is a widely cited research paper in computer networking that evaluates and contrasts the performance of different TCP variants using simulation.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
