Overview:

For a long time, operating system designers have followed the recommendation of the IETF for TCP congestion control.

This raises concerns about the future of congestion control in the Internet and the role of the IETF in this context. Simulation results indicate that there is indeed a reason to be concerned, as TCP flows of the above mentioned current and future operating systems appear to exhibit significant fairness problems when they share the same network.
