== Description ==
This Project leverages resources on the ProtoGENI aggregate, using the Omni GENI client. [[BR]]
The objective of this project is to familiarize you with the details of TCP congestion control, and the impact of network conditions on the TCP congestion control algorithms. [[BR]]
You will specifically learn about: [[BR]]
 * The [http://www.hjp.at/doc/rfc/rfc2582.txt NewReno] loss recovery and intertwined congestion control mechanisms [[BR]]
 * The [http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1400105 CUBIC] congestion control mechanism [[BR]]
 * The impact of the ''ssthresh'' and ''cwnd'' TCP state variables on TCP network performance [[BR]]
 * Measuring the performance of TCP flows [[BR]]
 * The impact of path delay and bottleneck bandwidth on TCP performance [[BR]]
 * TCP fairness concerns [[BR]]
 * The Linux pluggable congestion control module interface
