....growth of the Internet have made TCP congestion control crucial to the performance of the Internet. The current implementation of TCP congestion control includes the classic algorithms of Slow start and Congestion Avoidance [9] and the augmentation of Fast Retransmit and Fast Recovery algorithms [10], 19] Many popular Internet application protocols, such as HTTP, ftp, and telnet, are implemented with TCP. Since these protocols generate a large percentage of traffic on the Internet, the TCP congestion control should be optimized by adapting itself to the common behavior of these protocols. ....

....benefits short lived connections because they often finish transmission even before the congestion occurs. The reduced chance for buffer overflow also reduces the chance for multiple packet losses within the same window. Isolated packet losses can be efficiently handled by Fast Recovery [10], 19] avoiding retransmission timeouts. Moreover, the implementation of Smooth start is very simple and its overhead is very small. Only the sender side requires modifications, thus facilitating incremental deployment in today s Internet. Also, due to the inherent conservativeness of ....

....later, after a network collapse due to congestion was experienced in 1986. The congestion control mechanism described in the cornerstone paper [1] which is known as the Tahoe version of TCP congestion control algorithm, introduces two basic mechanisms: slow start and congestion avoidance. Later [25] two other basic mechanisms were introduced in the Reno version of TCP. TCP Reno still behaves as Tahoe after a timeout, that is it reduces congestion window to one and enters slow start phase. Reno however incorporates two new basic mechanisms: fast retransmission and the fast recovery, which are ....

INTRODUCTION TCP is the major protocol in use to provide end to end, reliable, and congestion controlled data transport over the Internet [Jaco88] [Jaco90]. The performance of the widely used TCP NewReno, however, is known to deteriorate severely over wireless or satellite links where errors often occur. The major cause lies at the very heart of TCP congestion control mechanism: a NewReno sender regards any packet loss as an indication of ....

Enhanced recovery from sporadic errors is provided by Fast Retransmission and Fast Recovery mechanisms that form what is known as the TCP Reno congestion control algorithm [2]. While end to end TCP congestion control can insure that network capacity is not exceeded, it cannot insure fair sharing of that capacity [1] Furthermore, TCP Reno is not well suited for wireless lossy links since sporadic losses due to radio channel problems are often misinterpreted as a ....

As has been noted in [1] [2], and [27] the stability of the Internet does not require that flows reduce their sending rate by half in response to a single congestion indication. In particular, the prevention of congestion collapse simply requires that flows use some form of end to end congestion control to avoid a high ....

....inter departure time for packets in the opposite direction. We found in the testbed that acks flowing along with data packets of an opposite direction connection do not act like a well behaved clock. The opposing directions of data flow interact in undesirable ways to break the self clocking [5] nature of the overall net. While some of this behavior may be because of the window flow control mechanisms, we believe the essential problem may still persist even without an underlying window flow control. The context in which this study was performed was to look at congestion avoidance for ....

The control algorithm described above is referred to in the literature as TCP Tahoe . Other versions such as Reno [12] and Vegas [6] have been proposed recently. They differ from Tahoe by slightly different window adjustments and packet loss detection schemes, and we will not consider them in this paper.

In addition, since the majority of the traffic on the Internet is TCP based [1] traffic splitting schemes need to avoid packet mis ordering within a TCP flow, which can falsely trigger congestion control mechanisms and cause unnecessary throughput degradation [2], 3] In this paper, we propose and evaluate a class of hashingbased traffic splitting algorithms which preserve per flow packet ordering. We consider five hash functions that are direct, meaning that the hash function produces a value in the range of 0 : N Gamma 1, where N is the number ....

Its basic philosophy of decreasing window size in response to a loss is maintained in the more recent, and less widely used, version of TCP, TCP Reno [5]. We have recently developed a detailed analytical understanding of TCP [8] that leads to rules of thumb that can be used for system design for supporting it. The key observation for wireless applications is that, since TCP interprets any packet loss as being due to congestion, its performance may ....
