TCP-Africa: An Adaptive and Fair Rapid Increase Rule for Scalable TCP
Overview High capacity data transfers over the Internet routinely fail to meet end-to-end performance expectations. The default transport control protocol for best effort data traffic is currently TCP, which does not scale well to 100Mbps and higher networks over long distances. In congestion avoidance TCP is not swift enough to fully utilize resources over paths with a high delay bandwidth product. First attempts to alleviate this problem by equipping TCP with increased aggressiveness have shown the disadvantage of poor fairness with the ubiquitous standard TCP-Reno, or in some cases, even among two connections running over the same path.
