Fairness comparison of FAST TCP and TCP Vegas
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper compares the equilibrium properties of FAST TCP and TCP Vegas. Although the two have the same equilibrium point when all sources know their true propagation delays, FAST is fairer when there are estimation errors. The performance of Vegas approaches that of FAST when the queueing delay is very much less than the propagation delay.

Analysis and Comparison of TCP Reno and Vegas
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
متن کاملComparison 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 کاملEquilibrium and Fairness of Networks Shared by TCP Reno and Vegas/FAST
It has been proved theoretically that a network with heterogeneous congestion control algorithms that react to different congestion signals can have multiple equilibrium points. In this paper, we demonstrate this experimentally using TCP Reno and Vegas/FAST. We also show that any desired inter-protocol fairness is in principle achievable by an appropriate choice of Vegas/FAST parameter, and tha...
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 کاملA simulation study on the throughput fairness of TCP Vegas
Tbmugbput fairness is an important d e r i a for evaluating TCP pe fomance. Fairness is especial! important for best effort service, which is still the dominant gpe o f service in the Internet and, predictab!, in the years to come. However, the TCP pmtocols prevailing in the Internet, including TCP Tahoe and TCP Reno, are known to be unfair, especial! to connections with larger mund-tnp delays....
