This memo discusses extension of TCP to provide transaction-oriented service, without altering its virtual-circuit operation. This extension would fill the large gap between connection-oriented TCP and datagram-based UDP, allowing TCP to efficiently perform many applications for which UDP is currently used. A separate memo contains a detailed functional specification for this proposed extension.

TCP CERL: congestion control enhancement over wireless networks
In this paper, we propose and verify a modified version of TCP Reno that we call TCP Congestion Control Enhancement for Random Loss (CERL). We compare the performance of TCP CERL, using simulations conducted in ns-2, to the following other TCP variants: ...
Extending TCP congestion control to multicast
This paper proposes a new single-rate multicast congestion control scheme named PGMTCC, which has been implemented and investigated in PGM. The primary idea of PGMTCC is to extend Sack TCP congestion control mechanism to multicast in order to make ...
TCP Prairie: a sender-only TCP modification based on adaptive bandwidth estimation in wired-wireless networks
This paper presents a new TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) variant called TCP Prairie which is a sender-only TCP modification based on dynamic bandwidth estimation in wired-cum-wireless networks. The key idea here is to continuously measure the ...
