number of flows. HSTCP shows similar fairness profiles to that of St<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

TCP. This is expected due to the deviation towards st<strong>and</strong>ard AIMD parameters<br />

with smaller cwnd values of each flow. The unfairness experienced<br />

between St<strong>and</strong>ard TCP flows is primarily due to the lack of congestion epochs<br />

between flows which keeps the flows at fixed unfairness for a longer period.<br />

ScalableTCP has clearly the largest spread of goodputs <strong>and</strong> is therefore<br />

the least fair of the algorithms shown. It also suffers from consistently high<br />

number of outlying points suggesting that a small number of flows always<br />

achieves large values of goodput compared to the other flows.<br />

9.1.6 Results: Impact<br />

Figures 9.10 <strong>and</strong> 9.11 show the impact of running 1 <strong>and</strong> 10 New-TCP flows<br />

upon various numbers of St<strong>and</strong>ard TCP bulk transport flows.<br />

As noted<br />

before, an impact greater than unity implies the degree of unfairness between<br />

the St<strong>and</strong>ard TCP flows <strong>and</strong> New-TCP flows.<br />

In both networks, impact tends to unity due to the decreased average<br />

goodput per flow due to sharing of the network capacity.<br />

Under MB-NG, it was observed that these New-TCP algorithms are rela-
