On the performance of TCP loss recovery mechanisms
M.M. de A. Espindula Lima, Nelson L. S. da Fonseca, José Ferreira de Rezende · 2004
This paper compares TCP loss recovery mechanisms that were proposed by the IETF to overcome TCP Reno lack of ability to recover efficiently from multiple losses in a single transmission window. The TCP extensions: NewReno, SACK and limited transmit, are compared under different traffic scenarios.
