TCP has been used very successfully for reliable communication for various data flows. One of the issues facing networks that support these data flows is Congestion. Current TCP Congestion Control mechanisms such as Reno and Tahoe focus on congestion avoidance based on network feedback. This is too conservative for short flows which require less than one round-trip time to communicate, and results in underutilization of available network bandwidth due to the TCP slow start problem. This paper proposes a technique to improve TCP's Congestion Control algorithms' ability to overcome the slow-start problem for short flows of data while retaining TCP Congestion Control semantics for longer flows.
