The demands for fast transfer of large volumes of data, and the deployment of the network infrastructures to support the demand are ever increasing. However, the dominant transport protocol of today, TCP, does not meet this demand because it favors reliability over timeliness and fails to fully utilize the network capacity due to limitations of its conservative congestion control algorithm. The slow response of TCP in fast long distance networks leaves sizeable unused bandwidth in such networks. Some works have been proposed to improve the connection's throughput by adopting more aggressive TCP congestion control algorithms. The existing loss-based, high-speed TCP congestion control algorithms are highly aggressive to satisfy the efficiency requirement, however this aggressiveness causes severe TCP unfairness. A comparative analysis of TCP Reno with three loss-based, high-speed TCP congestion control algorithms namely, HSTCP, STCP, and CUBIC-TCP is presented in this paper using default parameters of these algorithms for different network topologies.
