TCP Westood : End-to-End Congestion Control for Wired/Wireless Networks

TCP Westood
End-to-End Congestion Control for Wired/Wireless Networks

(Based on paper : TCP Westwood: End-to-End Congestion Control for Wired/Wireless Networks )

TCP Westwood: Main features
Improves the performances of TCP Reno over leaky and dynamically loaded canal as wireless networks (small improve for wired network)
TCPW in not very sensitive to random errors.
TCPW fully complies with end-to-end TCP design principle.
Not requires inspection of TCP packets at intermediate nodes.
BW estimated by continuously monitoring ACKs.
Friendliness with TCP variants, such as Reno.
TCPW is a reactive process.
TCPW convergence to fair share.
