• Enabling High Performance Data Transfers on Hosts TCP performance tuning notes from PSC
  
• Research Projects Reports of experience with TCP SACK at UCLA
  
• Global Optimization with End-to-End Congestion Control: Pointers to the Literature links from Sally Floyd
  
• Proposed Changes to TCP a set of pointers from Sally Floyd
  
• NASA TCP Research including SACK/FACK, larger initial windows, and TCP over Satellite
  
• T/TCP Home Page Historic description of T/TCP. Includes links to RFCs and source code. Not being updated since Richard W. Stevens has passed away.
  
• RED Sally Floyd's RED (Random Early Detection) links
  
• TCP Research Papers pointers to dozens of TCP papers
  
• The TCP-Friendly Website TCP-friendly algorithms and TCP performance models
  
• The Web 100 Project The goal is to make 100Mbps TCP streams over wide-area networks possible for general users.
  
• ECN Sally Floyd's ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) links
  
• TCP Smooth Start A refinement to slow start algorithm.
  
• TCP Selective Acknowledgment Options Links from Sally Floyd.
  
• TCP/IP Resources List A meta-FAQ about TCP/IP regularly posted to Usenet.
  
• Automatic TCP Buffer Tuning Research at PSC
  
• A User's Guide to TCP Windows A User's Guide to TCP Windows
  
• Increasing TCP's Initial Window including links to simulations, experiments, talks, and the RFC
  
• Equation-Based Congestion Control for Unicast Applications Research papers describing experience getting TCP-compatible throughput from rate-based (rather than window-based) approaches. Since resulting traffic stream is less bursty, this approach is suitable for streaming multimedia applications that need congestion-avoidance properties.
