Forecasting TCP's Rate to Speed up Slow Start

Speed Up, Slow Down or Both? Investigating the Contemporary Cities

Speed as a crucial phenomenon of modernism affects individual and collective life of human being and changes the traits of the places people live in. Increasing speed is the demand of the modern era, though on the other side in recent years there is a contrary incline towards slowing down different aspects of life. In view of this, the dualities in between social features of Speed up and slow d...

Improving TCP Start-up Behavior in High-Speed Networks

TCP is a reliable data transfer protocol used widely over the Internet for numerous applications, from FTP to HTTP. The current implementation of TCP Reno/NewReno mainly includes two phases: Slow-start and Congestionavoidance. In Slow-start phase, the sender opens the congestion window (cwnd) exponentially, doubling cwnd every Round-trip Time (RTT) until it reaches the Slow-start Threshold (sst...

Aggressive TCP Slow Start

TCP Slow Start is a mechanism that is intended to allow a data transfer to start at a low bandwidth and quickly reach the peak bandwidth that it can use, subject to congestion control constraints that are enforced by intermediate network nodes. The current version is defined by RFC 5681 [2]. In general, the mechanism used for congestion control in TCP networks is that a congested router will ra...

Novel Slow Start Algorithm

Internet has developed into dynamic network where users use wired/wireless access technologies. The diversity of bandwidths, delays and error rates observed on Internet have increased. TCP is the common denominator for many services therefore by modifying TCP the need for applying solutions locally can be reduced. We focus on making TCP more efficient in a way to speed up its slow start phase. ...
