一种改善RTT公平性的TCP慢启动算法

针对Internet拥塞控制策略在慢启动阶段中,具有不同RTT的TCP连接在竞争带宽时存在的不公平性,以及慢启动后期窗口增长过快等问题,提出一种改善RTT公平性的TCP慢启动新算法.新算法在慢启动初期窗口仍保持指数增长,慢启动后期引入与RTT成正比的窗口增长控制因子,使RTT较大的TCP连接窗口增加较快,反之增加较慢.性能分析和仿真结果表明,新算法在慢启动后期减缓了拥塞窗口的增长速度,削弱了RTT较小的TCP连接竞争带宽的侵略性,在一定程度上保证了不同RTT的TCP连接共享带宽的公平性,并且保持了标准慢启动算法的端到端语义,简单易实现,具有一定的理论和实际应用价值.

A New TCP Slow Start Algorithm to Improve RTT Fairness

To solve the problems such as the unfairness existing when standard TCP connects with different RTT competing bandwidth,the window over-fast growth caused in the late phase of slow start and etc.,a new TCP slow start algorithm for improving,termed SS+,is proposed.In the early slow start phase,using SS+ can keep the congestion window exponential grow;in the late phase,the window control growth factor in direct proportion to RTT is introduced to increase the congestion window of TCP connecting with larger RTT...
