Increasing popularity of real time traffic application has lead to increase in non TCP traffic over the internet. These non TCP applications does not provide adequate congestion control compared to TCP application sharing same network thus available bandwidth is shared unfairly and may lead to stall of TCP traffic. M any TCP-Friendly protocols have been proposed that can share the available bandwidth with TCP traffic fairly and in such a way that Non TCP flow have same throughput as TCP one when are under same network conditions. These schemes have different characteristic and are best suited for different network conditions. In this paper we discuss various available TCP friendly schemes and discuss their features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
