Dynamic congestion control algorithm selection in a proxy device

A system, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• receive an indication associated with establishing a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection;
• determine, based on the indication, information that identifies a user device associated with the TCP connection,
• wherein the information that identifies the user device includes an Internet protocol (IP) address associated with the user device;
• and
• determine, based on a lookup associated with the IP address, a mobile device directory number (MDN) associated with the user device;
• determine, based on congestion information, a predicted congestion level of a base station associated with the TCP connection,
• wherein the predicted congestion level is determined based on mapping the MDN to information that identifies the base station, and
• wherein the congestion information includes:
• a physical resource block usage (PRBU) associated with the base station that identifies a number of available physical resource blocks during a particular time period and at a particular time,
• a quantity of traffic channels associated with the base station and used for communication at the particular time or during the particular time period, and
• throughput information associated with the base station at the particular time or during the particular time period;
• select, based on the predicted congestion level, a congestion control algorithm, of a plurality of congestion control algorithms, to be implemented for the TCP connection;
• cause the TCP connection to be established;
• and
• implement the congestion control algorithm for the TCP connection.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive an indication associated with establishing a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection;
• determine, based on the indication, information that identifies a user device associated with the TCP connection,
• wherein the information that identifies the user device includes an Internet protocol (IP) address associated with the user device;
• and
• determine, based on a lookup associated with the IP address, a mobile device directory number (MDN) associated with the user device;
• determine, based on congestion information, a predicted congestion level of a base station associated with the TCP connection,
• wherein the predicted congestion level is determined based on mapping the MDN to information that identifies the base station, and
• wherein the congestion information includes:
• a physical resource block usage (PRBU) associated with the base station that identifies a number of available physical resource blocks during a particular time period and at a particular time,
• a quantity of traffic channels associated with the base station and used for communication at the particular time or during the particular time period, and
• throughput information associated the base station at the particular time or during the particular time period;
• select, based on the predicted congestion level, a congestion control algorithm to be implemented for the TCP connection;
• cause the TCP connection to be established;
• and
• implement the congestion control algorithm for the TCP connection.
