Analysis and Comparison of TCP Reno and Vegas
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose some improvements of TCP Vegas and compare its performance characteristics with TCP Reno. We argue through analysis that TCP Vegas, with its better bandwidth estimation scheme, uses the network resources more efficiently and fairly than TCP Reno. Simulation results are given that support the results of the analysis. Keywords—TCP Reno, TCP Vegas, Congestion Control, Fairness

Comparison of TCP Reno and TCP Vegas via Fluid Approximation
We compare the efficiency of the flow control of two versions of TCP, the transmission control protocol of the Internet: the current version called Reno, and a recently proposed version called Vegas. By means of a fluid approximation, we show that due to the use of round-trip times measurement, the window dynamics of TCP Vegas are much more stable than those of TCP Reno, resulting in a much mor...
متن کاملEnabling Compatibility Between TCP Reno and TCP Vegas
Despite research showing the superiority of TCP Vegas over TCP Reno, Reno is still the most widely deployed variant of TCP. This predicament is due primarily to the alleged incompatibility of Vegas with Reno. While Vegas in isolation performs better with respect to overall network utilization, stability, fairness, throughput and packet loss, and burstiness; its performance is generally mediocre...
متن کاملTCP Reno and Vegas co-existence
Several studies have been made comparing performance and fairness of different congestion control algorithms including TCP Reno and TCP Vegas. Those studies primarily focused on showing the advantages of TCP Vegas over TCP Reno in terms of performance, efficiency and fairness, and they show that Reno dominates Vegas in shared network environments. This work presents detailed analysis of the per...
متن کاملAnalysis and Improvement of Fairness between TCP Reno and Vegas for Deployment of TCP Vegas to the Internet
According to the past researches, a TCP Vegas version is able to achieve higher throughput than TCP Tahoe and Reno versions, which are widely used in the current Internet. However, we need to consider a migration path for TCP Vegas to be deployed in the Internet. By focusing on the situation where TCP Reno and Vegas connections share the bottleneck link, we investigate the fairness between two ...
متن کاملComparison of TCP Reno and Vegas in Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
TCP Reno is the most popular TCP version right now although it was reported as less efficient than the newer Vegas version. In this paper, we investigate and evaluate the performance of these two TCP algorithms in wireless mobile ad hoc networks, which are characterized by multi-hop wireless connectivity and frequently changing network topology. After extensively comparing of them in simulation...
