Title : FAST TCP for High-Speed Long-Distance Networks
Author(s) : C. Jin et al.
Filename : draft-jin-wei-low-tcp-fast-01.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2003-7-28
This document proposes FAST TCP, a modification to the TCP congestion
control algorithm for high-speed long-distance networks. The
AIMD congestion control algorithm in the current TCP has
equilibrium and dynamic problems that become more and more severe
as bandwidth-delay product increases. FAST TCP uses feedback
information, in addition to packet loss, to address these problems in
order to stabilize a network around a fair and efficient
operating point.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
