Robust TCP Congestion Recovery
Overview This paper presents a new robust TCP congestion-recovery scheme to handle bursty packet losses while preserving the self-clocking capability; detect a TCP connection's new equilibrium during congestion recovery, thus improving both link utilization and effective throughput; and make the TCP behavior during congestion recovery very close to that during congestion avoidance, thus "Extending" the performance model for congestion avoidance to that for TCP loss recovery. Moreover, the new recovery scheme requires only a slight modification to the sender side of TCP implementation, thus making it widely deployable. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated for scenarios with many TCP flows under the drop-tail and RED gateways in the presence of bursty packet losses.
