摘要: Abstract We compare the performance of two versions TCP, transmission control protocol Internet: current version called Reno, and a recently proposed Vegas. By means fluid approximation, we show that due to use round-trip times measurement, window dynamics TCP Vegas are much more stable than those resulting in efficient utilization network resources. In addition, whereas Reno discriminates against users with long propagation delays, fairly shares available bandwidth between users, whatever their delays.
