throughput, with one-fifth to one-half the losses, as compared to the implementation of TCP
in the Reno distribution of BSD Unix. This paper motivates and describes the three key
techniques employed by Vegas, and presents the results of a comprehensive experimental
performance study—using both simulations and measurements on the Internet—of the
Vegas and Reno implementations of TCP.
