Abstract :
We show that the current TCP Vegas algorithm can become unstable in the presence of network delay and propose a modification that stabilizes it. The stabilized Vegas remains completely source-based and can be implemented without any network support. We suggest an incremental deployment strategy for stabilized Vegas when the network contains a mix of links, some with active queue management and some without.
