Our work explores the impact of aggressive/conservative congestion control strategies on the fairness and efficiency of reliable transport protocols, in a wired/wireless environment. Based on experiments, we study the behavior of congestion control mechanisms in response to wireless errors, and transient congestion caused by a small number of competing flows. We show that: (i) the traditional TCP algorithm proves to be inadequate in terms of efficiency and fairness when random wireless errors occur in the network and, (ii) an aggressive strategy does not necessarily yield better performance. On the contrary, in the combined presence of transmission errors and transient congestion a conservative strategy appears superior.
