A loss-based TCP design in ICN

There is still network congestion in ICN, and the transmission control is essential in ICN. Because ICN transport is different from the transport in IP networks, TCP in ICN has some special features such as receiver-driven mode and connectionless. This paper analyzes that conventional TCP can´t be directly applied to ICN according to ICN transport features. By analyzing the algorithms of each TCP edition, we give a conclusion that only Tahoe can be applied to ICN after simple modification. Furthermore, this paper advances Tahoe for ICN-ITahoe design and implementation. Then, we simulate ITahoe protocol in ICN based test bed and verify that ITahoe has better efficiency than Tahoe and ICTP.
