Although many research efforts have been devoted to the network congestion against an increase of network traffic in the Internet, only a few discussions on the performance improvement of the endhosts are recently made. This paper proposes a new architecture, which is called Scalable Automatic Buffer Tuning (SABT), to provide high performance and fair service for many TCP connections at the Internet endhosts. In SABT, the sender host estimates 'Expected' throughput of the TCP connections through the simple mathematical equations, and assign the send socket buffer to them according to the estimated throughput. If the socket buffer is short, the max-min fairness policy is utilized to allocate the send socket buffer.
