Abstract
For many years, ethernet has been the mainstay for TCP/IP and local area networking, and issues specific to wide area and long haul networks have not been adequately addressed. The advent of FDDI and HIPPI standards, which are, respectively, one and two orders of magnitude faster then Ethernet, and high speed cross country links, are causing what used to be experimental issues to become everyday problems. This paper will cover some of these issues, as they relate to the TCP/IP protocols, and the work that has happened at Cray Research in the development of the UNICOS† operating system to address these issues.

Sync-TCP in high-speed environments
ACM-SE 43: Proceedings of the 43rd annual Southeast regional conference - Volume 2The congestion control mechanism in TCP was first introduced by Jacobson in [7], which was later developed into TCP Tahoe. Since then, various end-to-end congestion control protocols have been proposed, including Reno [2], NewReno [6], SACK [4], and ...
Unreliable transport protocol using congestion control for high-speed networks
Currently there is no control for the real-time traffic of multimedia applications using UDP (User Datagram Protocol) in high-speed networks. Therefore, although a number of high-speed TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) protocols have been developed ...
