This paper compares the equilibrium properties of FAST TCP and TCP Vegas. Although the two have the same equilibrium point when all sources know their true propagation delays, FAST is fairer when there are estimation errors. The performance of Vegas approaches that of FAST when the queueing delay is very much less than the propagation delay.
