TCP Reno congestion control carries two issues. First, its performance is poor in high-speed networks. To solve this TCP Reno drawback, HighSpeed TCP and Scalable TCP were proposed. However, the fairness between these proposed TCP and TCP Reno is not considered, when both connections coexist. Second, TCP Reno connections share bandwidth unfairly, when TCP flows with different RTTs use the same ...

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...

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

This paper suggests that, to match an ideal Internet gateway which rigorously enforces fair sharing among competing TCP connections, an ideal TCP sender should possess two properties while obeying congestion avoidance and control principles. First, the TCP sender which under-uses network resources should avoid retransmission timeouts. When experiencing network congestion, a TCP connection shoul...
