Abstract
TCP Vegas exhibits unfair congestion avoidance mechanism, which aggravates when there are insufficient network resources to accommodate buffer space of a pipe (bandwidth delay product). To remedy this shortcoming, we propose an Enhanced VegAs (EVA) that employs three auxiliary mechanisms: Δ revision, congestion detection and congestion tendency detection. A 2k factorial design with replications is used to study the effect of the three mechanisms. Our results show that TCP EVA achieves better performance than Vegas under various network conditions. Furthermore, congestion avoidance schemes, such as TCP EVA, perform much better than congestion control schemes, such as TCP Reno, in resource-insufficient networks.
