An initiative for a classified bibliography on TCP/IP congestion control

During last two decades researchers, scholars and students are continuously embracing and improving TCP congestion performance both in wired and wireless networks by focusing on four modules of congestion control algorithms i.e., slow start, congestion avoidance, fast recovery, and fast retransmit, which are considered to be the integrated models for network congestion. This paper presents the creativity to collect and classify bibliography on different flavors TCP/IP congestion control during these two decades. We have extracted some core results from the bibliography provided here which are described in the form of tables and diagrams.
