Figure 8.21: Convergence time to 80% throughput between two competing flows<br />

under symmetric network conditions (Bottleneck Queuesize set to 20% BDP).<br />

visibly increased amount of time for convergence to fairness (See Figure 8.13).<br />

FAST, on the other h<strong>and</strong>, manages fast convergence, although this calculation<br />

arises from the interplay between flows before it converges to a stable<br />

operating region. Also, FAST appears to have problems maintaining a stable<br />

equilibrium (See Figure 8.19).<br />

BicTCP <strong>and</strong> HSTCP have very similar profiles for convergence, although<br />

it should be noted that the scales are in log form in Figure 8.21. To put<br />

context to this, HSTCP <strong>and</strong> BicTCP spend almost a third of a ten minute<br />

test converging to stable state for the longer latency tests.<br />

H-TCP is able to converge quickly even in high latency environments.
