Abstract:

We study the effect of Explicit Congestion Notification on TCP performance for large file transfers. We compare this performance with the performance achieved using other congestion avoidance mechanisms, namely Drop Tail and RED. Our results show that TCP performance improves significantly with ECN both for individual flows and the network as a whole.
