HighSpeed TCP: comparando o HSTCP a outras implementações TCP

Abstract

HighSpeed TCP (HSTCP) is a modification to TCP’s congestion control mechanism for use with TCP connections with large congestion windows and high spped networks. Defined in IETF RFC 3649, HSTCP still holds the status of experimental, although it is stable and usable. This work presents the characteristics of HSTCP as originally developed by comparing it with other widely used TCP implementations.
