Scalable TCP patch
Scalable TCP is a simple change to the traditional TCP congestion control algorithm (RFC 2581) which dramatically improves TCP performance in high-speed WANs.

GridDT patch
This patch proposes an alternative algorithm for congestion control in TCP. It dramatically improves TCP performance in high-speed WANs and addresses the issue of RTT bias.
 

HSTCP patch
High-Speed TCP is a variant proposed by Sally Floyd which makes a simple change to the traditional congestion control algorithm. Over high-speed WANs, it allows faster recovery after packet loss, thus greatly improving throughput. This patch was implemented by Gareth Fairey.
 

Web100 patch
This freely available patch adds instrumentation to the TCP/IP code of the Linux kernel.
 

Net100 patch
The Net100 project members kindly make their latest patch available to us. This password-protected patch should not be redistributed. It implements Sally Floyd's HighSpeed TCP proposal.
