Recently, Compound TCP has come to be regarded as the most promising transport layer protocol for high-speed and long-distance networks. In our previous work, we have shown that the loss-based congestion control mechanism performed by Compound TCP does not achieve fairness in throughput. In order to solve this problem, we have proposed Compound TCP+. This protocol decreases the loss window size when it is anticipated that a packet loss might occur, without an actual packet loss. Using simple simulations, we have shown that Compound TCP+ connections have high fairness in wireless LANs. However, in our previous work, we have not examined the congestion control scheme of Compound TCP+, and the performance of Compound TCP+ has been evaluated only by means of simple simulations.
