A Fair Bulk Data Transmission Protocol in Grid Environments

Abstract

In this paper, we propose FHSTCP (Fair High-Speed TCP) as an improvement of HSTCP, which adds a fair factor to eliminate the difference of congestion window caused by different RTT and adopts block-pacing to reduce the burstiness. Simulation results show that FHSTCP can alleviate the RTT unfairness meanwhile keeping advantages of HSTCP. Document type: Part of book or chapter of boo
