On the Performance of TCP Loss Recovery Mechanisms
Overview This paper compares TCP Loss Recovery mechanisms that were proposed by the IETF to overcome TCP Reno lack of ability to recover efficiently from multiple losses in a single transmission window. The TCP extensions: NewReno, SACK and Limited Transmit, are compared under different traffic scenarios. Currently, TCP is the leading transport protocol in the Internet. It is responsible for 95% of the bytes and for 90% of the packets sent. Moreover, 80% of the flows sent through the Internet are TCP flows. Among the applications that use TCP, the Web is the dominant one, comprising up to 75% of the bytes, 70% of the packets, and 75% of the flows considering both client and server traffic.
