This thesis investigates the ability for TCP, the dominant transport protocol used in the Internet, to fairly allocate bandwidth to all competing sources under conditions of severe congestion. The conditions necessary for such congestion are quite common, and we have observed that the TCP congestion...

We present a potential solution to this problem by using a variable maximum segment size in TCP. We show the benefits gained by doing this along with some of the problems encountered in the course of this work.
