Abstract(in English) In this report, we evaluate the performance of recent TCP variants for high-speed and long-delay networks in IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN environment. We show that some of them have well-known TCP unfairness among up-link and down-link flows, and there is another unfairness problem among up-link flows. We then proposed an end-to-end-basis modification to TCP congestion control mechanisms to alleviate the unfairness problems, which activates congestion control when detecting ACK packet losses. We present that the proposed method is effective not only for improving the TCP fairness among up-link flows but also for the TCP fairness among up-link and down-link flows.
