Randomized trial demonstrates improved start-up performance in TCP, suggesting efficiency gains for data transfer.

This study aims to enhance the start-up behavior of TCP's congestion control mechanisms to reduce packet loss.
Experimental improvements tested in a network simulator and real networks.
Changes proposed for the Fast Retransmit algorithm.
Performance analyzed, particularly for short TCP transfers.
Significant reduction in time-consuming recovery from packet losses during TCP's start-up phase.
Modified Fast Retransmit allows quicker recovery of multiple lost packets.
Overall performance improvements noted, especially for short data transfers.
