We also improved its convergence speed. The fix is in fact very simple -- the window increase limit of smax during the window probing phase (i.e., convex growth phase) is removed. We found that this does not affect TCP friendliness, but only improves its scalability. We have run some tests in our lab and also over the Internet path from NCSU to Japan.
