Two Different Models of FAST TCP and Their Stable and Efficient Modification

Overview This paper introduces two different models of FAST TCP. One is from the original FAST TCP model, and the other is from the ns-2 implementation of FAST TCP. Interestingly, these two models show significantly different dynamic performance and stability characteristics. That is, while the latter model is always globally exponentially stable, the former model is faster than the latter model and possible to go unstable. Motivated from these two models, the paper suggests a modified congestion control algorithm. By tuning the gain of the terms caused by the different of the two models, the modified algorithm can be made to become globally asymptotically stable and more responsive than the ns-2 implementation model of FAST TCP.
