Recent Development of High Speed Transport Protocols
Ren Feng · Chinese Journal of Computers · 2006
With the rapid development of Internet,testbed of next generation Internet characterized by large scale and high speed have been constructed.Whereas some novel studies indicated that since the traditional TCP uses the conservative Additive Increase(AI) and aggressive Multiplicative Decrease(MD) mechanism to update the congestion window,it could not make full use of the abundant bandwidth resource of Gigabit high speed testbed shared by small scale flows.Thus several novel transport protocols have been proposed.The authors categorize and describe all these protocols,and emphatically analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of all kinds of mechanisms.Subsequently,the authors summarize the current existing open issues,and provide some further interesting directions.
