Bhandarkar and Reddy (2004) TCP-DCR: Making TCP Robust to Non-Congestion Events (IFIP Networking)

October 16, 2009 paper

Initiated by the scenario of end-to-end connection involving wireless link, this paper proposes TCP-DCR, the delayed congestion response. [more]

Leung et al (2007) An Overview of Packet Reordering in TCP: Problems, Solutions, and Challenges (Tran. Parallel & Dist Sys)

October 16, 2009 paper

A survey of different approaches to solve the packet reordering problem related to TCP. [more]

Lee et al (2002) Improving TCP Performance in Multipath Packet Forwarding Networks (JCN)

October 16, 2009 paper

This paper deals with TCP over multipath networks. It suggest to modify TCP to enhance its performance over multipath, namely, increase the dupthresh to \(D(1+\lfloor\log_2N\rfloor)\) where \(D\) is the number (=3) of dup ACKs to trigger fast retransmission by default. Furthermore, the receiver delay ACK the packets out-of-order by ACK... [more]

Zhang et al (2002) RR-TCP: A Reordering-Robust TCP with DSACK (ICSI Tech Report)

October 15, 2009 paper

An abridged version available under the same title in Proc. ICNP 2003, pp.95-106, Nov 2003. [more]

Bohacek et al (2006) A New TCP for Persistent Packet Reordering (TON)

October 15, 2009 paper

This paper proposes TCP-PR, a TCP variant to support persistent packet reordering. Assume a network support multipath routing and packets are routed over different paths without concerning their association with a flow, due to delay differences, reordering occurs. [more]
