Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to answer the following question: Is there a need for a new generation of congestion control algorithms in point-to-point networks? In order to give an answer, the current behavior of distinct congestion control algorithms was studied over different point-to-point network scenarios, with several metrics such as: segment size, buffer size, transfer speed and time of acknowledgement (ACK). After the failures were discovered, the results were analyzed and various recommendations were established aiming at decreasing congestion in TCP point-to-point networks.
