A study on high speed TCP protocols
Lori A. Dalton, C. Isen · 2005
Standard TCP is successful at low speeds but it is unfit for high speed communication due to its slow ramp-up of congestion window size. Many modern fields of study require high bandwidth connectivity. Various solutions to this, including server side modifications of TCP, like HighSpeed TCP and Fast TCP, are being advocated. In this work, we study the effectiveness of these two protocols by comparing and contrasting both of them with standard TCP.
