Different Protocols for High Speed Networks

. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications(IJACSA), (2012)

Abstract

New challenges arise with the presence of various types of physical links, such as wireless networks, high speed and satellite in today’s ever-changing network. It is clear that the TCP throughput deteriorates in high-speed networks with large bandwidth-delay product, and new congestion control algorithms have been proposed to address such deterioration. Traditional TCP protocols treat all packet loss as a sign of congestion. Their inability to recognize non-congestion related packet loss has significant effects on the communication efficiency. The proposed protocols such as TCP Adaptive Westwood, Scalable TCP, HS-TCP, BIC-TCP, FAST-TCP and H-TCP all have some improvement in functionality over the traditional TCP protocols. This survey gives a summarization of all the protocols for high speed networks.
