Abstract :
Internet has developed into dynamic network where users use wired/wireless access technologies. The diversity of bandwidths, delays and error rates observed on Internet have increased. TCP is the common denominator for many services therefore by modifying TCP the need of applying solutions locally can be reduced. We focus on making TCP more efficient in a way to speed up its slow start phase, phase that tries to find good congestion window size. Different Slow Start algorithms will be analyzed and new variant will be proposed.
