| Abstract |
This paper infers two patterns of timeout from the characteristics of TCP Reno and confirms the existence of the patterns by conducting actual experiments. All timeouts can be classified into either of these patterns by using the history of RTT value. Based on the observed patterns, the paper proposes two algorithms to improve the performance of TCP Reno. Experimental results show that, when compared with TCP Reno, the proposed algorithms improve the bandwidth utilization by 3 to 12 percent. The paper provides good examples of how timeout-based and delay-based congestion control can efficiently work together. |
