On the performance of TCP loss recovery mechanisms

This paper compares TCP loss recovery mechanisms that were proposed by the IETF to overcome TCP Reno lack of ability to recover efficiently from multiple losses in a single transmission window. The TCP extensions: NewReno, SACK and limited transmit, are compared under different traffic scenarios.
