RFC2001: TCP Slow Start, Congestion Avoidance, Fast Retransmit, and Fast Recovery Algorithms1997 RFC

Skip Abstract Section
Abstract
Modern implementations of TCP contain four intertwined algorithms that have never been fully documented as Internet standards: slow start, congestion avoidance, fast retransmit, and fast recovery. [2] and [3] provide some details on these algorithms, [4] provides examples of the algorithms in action, and [5] provides the source code for the 4.4BSD implementation. RFC 1122 requires that a TCP must implement slow start and congestion avoidance (Section 4.2.2.15 of [1]), citing [2] as the reference, but fast retransmit and fast recovery were implemented after RFC 1122. The purpose of this document is to document these four algorithms for the Internet.

Delay-based congestion avoidance for TCP
The set of TCP congestion control algorithms associated with TCP/Reno (e.g., slow-start and congestion avoidance) have been crucial to ensuring the stability of the Internet. Algorithms such as TCP/NewReno (which has been deployed) and TCP/Vegas (which ...
Fast retransmit and fast recovery schemes of transport protocols: A survey and taxonomy
Although there are two standard transport protocols, TCP and UDP, offering services in the Internet, the majority of the traffic over the Internet is TCP-based. TCP-based applications can react to packet losses; however, many performance problems have ...
Delay-based TCP congestion avoidance: A network calculus interpretation and performance improvements
In delay-based TCP congestion avoidance mechanisms, a source adjusts its window size to adapt to changes in network conditions as measured through changing queueing delays. Although network calculus (NC) has been used to study window flow control and ...
