<DIV><FONT size=2> Hi, everyone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> TCP reduces its window size (cwnd) to half of current
cwnd when it detects loss via triple duplicate acknowlegements. So, I define the
reduction ratio of current TCP as 1/2. I can guess that if reduction ration
is smaller, network would be more stable. But, I think that if we set reduction
ratio a little higher than current value 1/2, unfairness between UDP and
TCP would decrease.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Why don't we set the reduction ratio a litter
higher?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Is there any research related to this topic? Is there
any detailed analysis on the reduction ratio?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Thanks for reading.</FONT></DIV>
