Evaluating the Performance of TCP Stacks for High-Speed Networks.

In this paper we present experimental results evaluating the performance of the Scalable-TCP, HS-TCP, BICTCP, FAST-TCP and H-TCP proposals for changes to the TCP congestion control algorithm to improve performance in highspeed network paths.
