TCP congestion control over a live UMTS network[edit]

We have performed an extensive campaign of measurements that involved around 3000 flows and more than 40 hours of measurements using three different TCP stacks:

• TCP NewReno: which is the congestion control algorithm standardized by IETF
• TCP BIC: the default congestion control algorithm adopted by the Linux o.s.
• [[Westwood | TCP Westwood+]: available in the Linux kernel (both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels).
