From 835b3f0c0d7e1f716c45ec576662eac7a68b8548 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniele Lacamera <(root at danielinux.net)net> Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 12:26:34 -0700 Subject: [TCP]: Add TCP Hybla congestion control module. TCP Hybla congestion avoidance. - "In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper[1]. It stems from an analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in the TCP standard versions (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno), which suggests the necessary modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.[...]"[1] [1]: Carlo Caini, Rosario Firrincieli, "TCP Hybla: a TCP enhancement for heterogeneous networks", International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking Volume 22, Issue 5 , Pages 547 - 566.
