The fast retransmit and fast recovery algorithm of TCP Reno, when multiple packets in the same window are lost, cannot recover them without RTO (Retransmission Timeout). TCP New-Reno can recover multiple lost packets by extending fast recovery using partial acknowledgement. If the retransmitted packet is lost again during fast recovery, however, RTO cannot be avoided. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called "Duplicate Acknowledgement Counting(DAC)" to alleviate this problem. DAC can detect the retransmitted packet loss by counting duplicate ACKs. Conditions that a lost packet can be recovered by loss recovery of TCP Reno, TCP New-Reno and TCP New-Reno using DAC are derived by modeling loss recovery behavior of each TCP. We calculate the loss recovery probability for random packet loss probability numerically, and show that DAC can improve loss recovery behavior of TCP New-Reno.

TCP has improved by many papers which suggest the new algorithms and modify the previous algorithms. This paper compares Tahoe, Reno, New-Reno, Vegas, and SACK. The first version is Tahoe and is globally used. Reno has optimal performance during occurring one packet loss within a window of data, but can suffer from performance when multiple packets are dropped from a window of data. New-Reno avoids some of the performance problems of Reno TCP when multiple packets are dropped from a window of data. but is occurring the problem of the necessary retransmission. SACK resolves the all above problems and is used in bandwidth delay product environment. Vegas uses network bandwidth more efficiently and is a new implementation of TCP that achieves between 40 and 70 better throughput, with one-fifth to one-half the losses, as compared to the implementation of Reno TCP.

Recently, there is asymmetrical transmission in Internet data stream. The asymmetrical transmission has much more downstream than upstream. Owing to this point, it needs to reduce the acknowledgement as element of the obsrtuction in downstream. In this paper, according to simulation's result, we know that Sack has good performance than New Reno in bottleneck environment Comparing two protocols in packet loss rate, NewReno is lower than Sack. And also comparing two protocols in throughput of ack packet, not only NewReno processes ack packet more quickly than Sack, but also NewReno processes more ack packet than Sack protocol during ten seconds in simulation. As a result, NewReno is batter than Sack in throughput of asymmetrical link.

An important factor influencing the robustness of the Internet is the end-to-end TCP congestion control. However, the congestion control scheme of TCP Reno, the most popular TCP version on the Internet, employs passive congestion indication. It makes the network congestion worse. Brakmo and Peterson proposed a congestion control algorithm, TCP Vegas, by modifying the congestion avoidance scheme of TCP Reno. Many studies indicate that Vegas is able to achieve better throughput and higher stability than Reno. But there are three unfairness problems in Vegas. These problems hinder the spread of Vegas in the current Internet. In this paper, in order to solve these unfairness problems, we propose a new congestion control algorithm called TCP NewVegas. The proposed NewVegas is able to solve these unfairness problems effectively by using the variation of the number of queued packets in a bottleneck router. To evaluate the proposed approach, we compare the performance among NewVegas, Reno and Vegas. Through the simulation, NewVegas is shown to be able to achieve throughput and better fairness than Vegas.

The most important factor influencing the robustness of the Internet Is the end-to-end TCP congestion control. However, the congestion control scheme of TCP Reno, the most popular TCP version on the Internet, employs passive congestion indication. It makes worse the network congestion. Recently, Brakmo and Peterson have proposed a new version of TCP, which is named TCP Vegas, with a fundamentally different congestion control scheme from that of the Reno. Many studies indicate that the Vegas is able to achieve better throughput and higher stability than the Reno. But there are two unfairness problems in Vegas. These problems hinder the spread of the Vegas in current Internet. In this paper, in order to solve these unfairness problems, we propose a new congestion control algorithm called TCP PowerVegas. The existing Vegas depends mainly only on the rtt(round trip time), but the proposed PowerVegas use the new congestion control scheme combined the Information on the rtt with the information on the packet loss. Therefore the PowerVegas performs the congestion control more competitively than the Vegas. Thus, the PowerVegas is able to solve effectively these unfairness problems which the Vegas has experienced. To evaluate the proposed approach, we compare the performance among PowerVegas, Reno and Vegas under same network environment. Using simulation, the PowerVegas is able to achieve better throughput and higher stability than the Reno and is shown to achieve much better fairness than the existing Vegas.

TCP Vegas version provides better performance and more stable services than TCP Tahoe and Reno versions, which are widely used in the current Internet. However, in the situation where TCP Vegas and Reno share the bottleneck link, the performance of TCP Vegas is much smaller than that of TCP Reno. This unfairness is due to the difference of congestion control mechanisms of each TCP use. Several studies have been executed in order to solve this unfairness problem. In this paper, we analyze the minimum window size to maintain the maximum TCP performance of link bandwidth. In addition, we propose an algorithm which maintains the TCP performance and improves fairness by selective packet drops in order to allocate proper window size of each TCP connections. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we have measured the number of data bytes transmitted between end-to-end systems by each TCP connections. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm maintains the maximum TCP performance and improves the fairness.

TCP is needed as a transport protocol to provide reliable end-to-end message delivery for MANETs in order to achieve a smooth integration with the fixed Internet. Particularly, TCP has its variants, namely TCP-Reno and TCP-Vegas. However, there has been no research work on extensive performance comparison of TCP-Reno and TCP-Vegas over AODV and OLSR. This paper is the first trial to perform the research by using ns-2 simulator. Through the extensive simulations, we found that which to select among routing protocols is more important than which to select among TCP variants, because the performance difference between TCP-Reno and TCP-Vegas over uy selected routing protocol is not so much outstanding. Particularly, TCP-Vegas relies on an accurate BaseRTT estimation in order to decide the sending rate of a TCP Sender. However, it cannot be directly applied to MANET because a route change makes the Base an used over a Previous Path obsolete. Therefore, we propose a technique for improving the performance of TCP-Vegas by considering the route change, and show the performance improvement through simulation study.

Recently, network component become to follow wireless and mobile network from wired network proposed that many TCP algorithm optimized in variety environment. When TCP was created, however as it was design based on wired link, wireless link made more transmission error than wired link. Transmission errors are more frequent and may be incorrectly regarded as indications of network congestion. In this paper, it conduct how effect congestion control algorithm in Mobile ad-hoc network and compare traffic of TCP-Tahoe, TCP-Reno, TCP-New-Reno and TCP-Vegas in Mobile ad-hoc environment.

기존 TCP Reno 의 혼잡 제어는 트래픽에 수동적으로 동작하는 방법으로서 혼잡이 이미 발생한 상태에서 동작하게 되므로 발생 시점의 라우터 버퍼는 이미 최대치에 도달해 있게 된다. 따라서 이후에 도착하는 모든 패킷은 폐기되므로 이 패킷들을 전송한 모든 송신원은 거의 동시에 윈도우 크기를 줄이는 Slow-start 단계에 들어가게 되어 일시적으로 링크 사용률이 떨어지는 전역 동기화(global synchronization)가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 네트워크의 혼잡이 발생하기 전에 능동적으로 대처하는 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 RTT 계산 알고리즘인 순방향/역방향 전송지연 알고리즘을 이용하여 네트워크의 혼잡을 미리 예측하고 네트워크 혼잡에 능동적으로 대처할 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 리눅스(Linux) 커널(Kernel)의 TCP Reno 의 흐름제어 및 혼잡제어를 수정하여 네트워크 혼잡에 능동적으로 대처 할 수 있는 새로운 TCP Reno 를 설계, 구현하였다.

Domestic wireless network environment is changing rapidly while adapting to meet service requirements of users and growth of market. As a result, reliable data transmission using TCP is also expected to increase. Since TCP assumes that it is used in wired networt TCP suffers significant performance degradation over wireless network where packet losses are not always result of network congestion. Especially RTO imposes a great performance degradation of TCP. In this paper, we propose DAC$^{＋}$ and EFR in order to prevent performance degradation by quickly detecting and recovering loss without RTO during fast recovery. Compared with TCP NewReno, proposed scheme shows improvements in steady-state in terms of higher fast recovery Probability and reduced response time.
