Swift Start TCP, Problems, Modification, Analytical and Simulation Studies

BBN Technologies designed an algorithm called Swift Start for TCP to mitigate the start up problem. Some drawbacks face that algorithm. This paper introduces a modification to that algorithm then it will evaluate the modified swift start TCP congestion control algorithm analytically and by simulation and then it will compare between its performance with that of slow start TCP and the original swift start in different network bandwidths and different path delay for single stream and multiple simultaneous streams.
