This memo makes the case for interdependent TCP control blocks, where part of the TCP state is shared among similar concurrent connections, or across similar connection instances. TCP state includes a combination of parameters, such as connection state, current round- trip time estimates, congestion control information, and process information. This state is currently maintained on a per-connection basis in the TCP control block, but should be shared across connections to the same host. The goal is to improve transient transport performance, while maintaining backward-compatibility with existing implementations.

Recommendations
The TCP control block interdependence in fixed networks-new performance results
In a today's Internet end system, the congestion and flow control of every TCP connection is done separately. This means that every TCP sender of the TCP connections of an end system has to determine current information about the network for itself and ...
The TCP Control Block Interdependence in Fixed Networks - Some Performance Results
COST 263: Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Quality of Future Internet ServicesFor every TCP connection a TCP sender has a control block in which the current values of the variables and parameters of the connection are stored, e.g., the congestion window size, the slow start threshold, or the (smoothed) round trip time. The ...
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: ...
