A Survey on Several Transmission Control Protocols in High-speed Networks
Yaqin Li · Computer Knowledge and Technology · 2008
TCP congestion control algorithms,proposed by Jacobson at the end of 1980s,have undergone a continuous development and improvement,and have shown good performance in the traditional networks.However,with the change of environments in networks,a lot of experiments and analyses demonstrate that the traditional control algorithm of AIMD may not be efficient for the transmission of block data in networks with high sending rate and large delay,it inherits limitations for new applications of networks such as grid,multimedia applications and so on.In this paper,we will review some recent developments of alternatives of TCP and compare their performance.On the basis of comprehensive analyses,we draw a conclusion that these new protocols may replace the current TCP in the networks to achieve high performance.
