TCP-Adaptive Reno for Improving Efficiency-Friendliness Tradeoffs of TCP Congestion Control Algorithm
Overview It has been recognized that TCP throughput deteriorates in networks with large bandwidth-delay-product and non-negligible packet losses. A number of protocols, such as High Speed TCP, Scalable TCP and TCP-Westwood have been proposed to address this problem. However, their lack of friendliness to existing protocols has hampered their wide deployment in public networks. This paper proposes TCP-AReno (Adaptive Reno) to ensure friendliness to TCP-Reno, as well as efficiency in high-speed networks. A key feature of TCP-AReno is that it dynamically adjusts the TCP response function based on congestion estimation via RTT measurement. It increases congestion window faster and decreases the window less significantly than TCP-Reno when it recognizes no congestion.
