Figure 9.13: cwnd trace of New-TCP algorithms with various CBR Background<br />

Traffic Loads on <strong>Data</strong>TAG.<br />

gorithms on the <strong>Data</strong>TAG testbed. With 600Mbit/sec background, the cwnd<br />

dynamic of ScalableTCP is as expected which results in high utilisation of<br />

the path (with the exception of an early packet drop which forces the flow to<br />

undergo ScalableTCP congestion avoidance in order to fill the pipe). However,<br />

with 200Mbit/sec background, a different cwnd dynamic was observed<br />

whereby consecutive sequential recalculations of ssthresh causes cwnd to<br />

reach small values which takes much time before cwnd reaches its previous<br />

maximum. Similar dynamics were observed (but not shown) with HSTCP.<br />

As observed in Figure 9.13, the amount of time required for H-TCP to<br />

recover from these low values of cwnd is much faster than that of ScalableTCP<br />

- it is this responsiveness of H-TCP that allows it to achieve a greater goodput
