TCP congestion control simulator

The congestion window is drawn round by round: slow start doubling it, congestion avoidance adding one, and the reaction when a loss happens.

TCP congestion control simulator: how to use it

Choose Tahoe or Reno, the starting threshold, the number of rounds, and in which rounds a timeout or three duplicate ACKs happen.

Lessons that use it

  • TCP congestion control (Networks)How TCP senders share a busy network: the congestion window, slow start, additive increase and multiplicative decrease, and how Tahoe and Reno react to a loss.
