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.
