TCP Libra: Exploring RTT-Fairness for TCP (original) (raw)

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2007

Abstract

The majority of Internet users rely on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to download large multimedia files from remote servers (eg P2P file sharing). TCP has been advertised as a fair-share protocol. However, when session round-trip-times (RTTs) radically differ from each other, the share (of the bottleneck link) may be anything but fair. This motivates us to explore a new TCP, TCP Libra, that guarantees fair sharing regardless of RTT. The key element of TCP Libra is the unique window adjustment algorithm that provably leads to ...
