Experimental evaluation of TCP congestion control mechanisms in short and long distance networks

Originally TCP was designed for early, low bandwidth, short distance networks, so Standard TCP did not utilize the maximum bandwidth in today’s high bandwidth network environments. Therefore a lot of TCP congestion control mechanisms also known as TCP variants have been developed for today’s long di...
