Abstract
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is used by the vast majority of Internet applications. Since its introduction in the 1970s, a lot of variants have been proposed to cope with the different network conditions we can have (e.g., wired networks, wireless networks, satellite links) and nowadays Linux OS includes 13 different TCP variants. The aim of this paper is to provide a complete survey of the different congestion control mechanisms used by the variants of the TCP implemented in the Linux Kernel 2.6.x.File in questo prodotto:
