Fairness of High-Speed TCP Stacks

We present experimental results evaluating fairness of several proposals to change the TCP congestion control algorithm, in support of operation on high bandwidth-delayproduct (BDP) network paths. We examine and compare the fairness of New Reno TCP, BIC, Cubic, Hamilton-TCP, Highspeed-TCP and Scalable-TCP. We focus on four different views of fairness: TCP-friendliness, RTT-fairness, intraand inter-protocol fairness.
