Future Work

To futher advance this study, future work is needed as we have pointed out in the end of Chapter 3 – Chapter 6. Among these research directions, enabling compatibility between TCP Reno and TCP Vegas may be an attractive topic. One possible reason for TCP Vegas is still unpopular in the Internet is that, when Reno and Vegas coexist in the same bottleneck, Reno generally steals bandwidth from Vegas. Therefore, if TCP Vegas may compete well with TCP Reno in this situation, it will great motivate Internet users to adopt TCP Vegas.
