TL;DR
This paper describes problems in the BSD 4.4-Lite version of TCP and proposes fixes that result in a 21% increase in throughput under realistic conditions.
Abstract
This paper describes problems in the BSD 4.4-Lite version of TCP (some of which are also present in earlier versions, such as the Net2 implementation of TCP) and proposes fixes that result in a 21% increase in throughput under realistic conditions.

ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication ReviewCongestion avoidance and control
5,337 Citations1995Van Jacobson
The measurements and the reports of beta testers suggest that the final product is fairly good at dealing with congested conditions on the Internet, and an algorithm recently developed by Phil Karn of Bell Communications Research is described in a soon-to-be-published RFC.
Congestion avoidance and control
2,447 Citations1988Van Jacobson
In October of '86, the Internet had the first of what became a series of 'congestion collapses' during this period, the data throughput from LBL to UC Berkeley dropped from 32 Kbps to 40 bps.
TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 1 The Protocols
850 Citations2000W. Richard Stevens
TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 is a complete and detailed guide to the entire TCP/IP protocol suite - with an important difference from other books on the subject: rather than just describing what the RFCs say the protocol suite should do, this unique book uses a popular diagnostic tool so you may actually watch the protocols in action.
IEEE Transactions on Software EngineeringThe x-Kernel: an architecture for implementing network protocols
788 Citations1991N.C. Hutchinson, Larry Peterson
The authors' experience implementing and evaluation several protocols in the x-Kernel shows that this architecture is general enough to accommodate a wide range of protocols, yet efficient enough to perform competitively with less-structured operating systems.
TCP Vegas
683 Citations1994Lawrence S. Brakmo, Sean O’Malley +1 more
This paper motivates and describes the three key techniques employed by Vegas, and presents the results of a comprehensive experimental performance study—using both simulations and measurements on the Internet— of the Vegas and Reno implementations of TCP.
