Improving the fairness of FAST TCP to new flows
Tony Cui, Lachlan L. H. Andrew, Moshe Zukerman, Liansheng Tan · IEEE Communications Letters · 2006
It has been observed that FAST TCP, and the related protocol TCP Vegas, suffer unfairness when many flows arrive at a single bottleneck link, without intervening departures. We show that the effect is even more marked if a new flow arrives when existing flows share bandwidth fairly, and propose a simple method to ameliorate this effect.
