Improving the Convergence Time of HighSpeed TCP
Overview It is reported that TCP does not perform well in high-speed and long-distance networks. This problem led to the proposal of HighSpeed TCP (HS-TCP). HS-TCP is designed to achieve a steady-state throughput of 10 Gbps with a packet loss rate of 10-7 when the packet size is 1500 bytes and the round trip time is 100 ms. However, HS-TCP has a problem in terms of convergence times. That is, it takes a long time for a new HSTCP flow to achieve fair bandwidth allocation if the existing HSTCP flows have large congestion windows. This paper proposes a new mechanism to improve the convergence time of HS-TCP.
