Title
Extensive evaluation on the performance and behaviour of TCP congestion control protocols under varied network scenarios.
Abstract
In recent decades, many TCP Congestion Control (CC) protocols have been proposed to improve the performance and reliability of TCP in various network scenarios. However, CC protocols are usually closely coupled with network conditions such as latency and packet loss. Considering that networks with different properties are common, e.g., wired/wireless LAN and Long Fat Networks (LFNs), investigating both performance and behaviors of CC protocols under varied network scenarios becomes crucial for both network management and development. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive measurement study on the goodput, RTT, retransmission, friendliness, fairness, convergence time and stability of most widely-used CC protocols over wired LAN/WAN and wireless LAN (both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi). We also conduct comparative studies with respect to transmission cost, congested reverse path and bottleneck queue size in network simulator.
