Overview:

With the rapid expansion of the Internet, it has become possible for end hosts that are separated long apart to be connected through high bandwidth links. This environment, called a Large Bandwidth Delay Network, poses a major challenge to the performance of the Internet. A long-delay connection usually suffers from being treated unfairly when competing with short-delay connections. A link, to avoid being under-utilized, has to be equipped with an a buffer as large as the bandwidth delay product of the longest connection. TCP-Vegas is known as a potential solution to these problems. According to a number of previous studies, it is said to fairly treat connections with different propagation delays and avoid under-utilization even with a buffer that is independent of the bandwidth delay product.
