Fairness Comparisons Between TCP Reno and TCP Vegas for Future Deployment of TCP Vegas
Overview TCP Vegas version is expected to achieve higher throughput than TCP Tahoe and Reno versions, which are currently used in the Internet. However, one needs to consider a migration path of TCP Vegas when it is deployed in the Internet. This paper focuses on the situation where multiple TCP Reno and Vegas connections coexist at the bottleneck router, by which the fairness property is investigated to seek the possibility of future deployment of TCP Vegas. The paper considers drop-tail and RED (Random Early Detection) algorithms as buffering discipline at the router, and evaluate the effect of RED algorithm on fairness enhancement.
