abstract = {FAST TCP has been shown to be promising in terms
of system stability, throughput and fairness. However, it requires buffering
which increases linearly with the number of flows bottlenecked at a link. This
paper proposes a new TCP algorithm that extends FAST TCP to achieve (@a,n)-proportional
fairness in steady state, yielding buffer requirements which grow only as the
nth power of the number of flows. We call the new algorithm Generalized FAST
TCP. We prove stability for the case of a single bottleneck link with
homogeneous sources in the absence of feedback delay. Simulation results verify
that the new scheme is stable in the presence of feedback delay, and that its
buffering requirements can be made to scale significantly better than standard
FAST TCP. }
