This paper describes the performance enhancements of the Next Generation TCP/IP stack, which include Receive Window Auto-Tuning, Compound TCP, enhancements for wireless traffic, and improved routing path detection and recovery. The TCP/IP stack in Microsoft Windows 2000 introduced a set of performance enhancements that included TCP receive window scaling, selective acknowledgments, and better roundtrip time (RTT) estimation. In the years since Windows 2000 was released, there have been many changes to networking bandwidth, including more prevalent use of high-bandwidth and wireless links. The Next Generation TCP/IP stack in Windows Vista and Windows Server "Longhorn" includes a new set of performance enhancements to increase throughput in high-bandwidth, high-latency, and high-loss networking environments.
