Cabernet: vehicular content delivery using WiFi (2008, background): “A TCP Westwood/Westwood+ sender does not cut its congestion window by half on a loss, but instead sets the congestion window to the product of the bandwidth estimate and the minimum roundtrip time (RTT) for the connection, divided by the segment size.”
CUBIC: a new TCP-friendly high-speed TCP variant (2008, background): “N the past few years, we have witnessed a surge of TCP variants [1] that address the under-utilization problem most notably due to the slow growth of TCP congestion window (e.g., FAST [2], HSTCP [3], STCP [4], HTCP [5], SQRT [6], Westwood [ 7 ], and BIC [8]) in a large bandwidth-delay product (BDP) ”
