Multipath TCP Westwood over Wireless Networks

In this work, we propose an extended version of TCP Westwood for multiple paths, called MPTCPW. To start with the analysis model of TCPW, MPTCPW is designed as a coordinated congestion controller between paths which allows load-balancing, fair sharing to regular TCPW at bottleneck. Our simulation results show that MPTCPW can achieve higher throughput than MPTCP in wireless environments, fairness to regular TCPW. In this paper, we are interested on an extended version of TCP Westwood for multiple paths, called MPTCPW. To start with the analysis model of TCPW [5], MPTCPW is designed as a coordinated congestion controller between paths which allows balancing the loads between the paths, while ensuring fair bandwidth allocation to regular TCPW at shared
