....recover multiple packet losses within a window of data, New Reno, SACK and FACK [8] 13] 12] have been proposed to recover from bursty packet losses without losing self clocking. Furthermore, to remove the second problem of Slow start, estimated initial ssthresh and safe ssthresh [8] [22] have been proposed to replace the default setting of ssthresh. However, the abrupt transition of congestion window between exponential growth and linear growth phases that causes highly bursty traffic and frequent buffer overflows, remains unaddressed. Although the estimated initial ssthresh and ....

....to avoid performance degradation when the cached information is stale. An appropriate initial value of ssthresh, which dictates when to switch from the Slow start to Congestion Avoidance phase, is important to the performance of a TCP connection. Recognizing this importance, new approaches [8] [22] have been proposed to replace the default setting of ssthresh with an estimated or safe value of ssthresh. The estimation method in [8] is similar to the packet pair technique proposed in [11] In [22] a new variant of SPAND (Shared PAssive Network Discovery [17] has been proposed to extract ....
