Welcome to the YeAH-TCP wiki!

Week1 (October1- October7)

Tasks Completed:

• Read about YeAH-TCP paper.
• Read about DCE.
• Install DCE in Ubuntu.

Week2 (October8-October14)

Tasks Completed:

• Understand what exactly is congestion control
• Understand leaky bucket and token bucket algorithms
• Get a clear picture of the different phases (slow start, congestion avoidance and fast recovery )

Tasks to be done:

• Understand basics of TCP TAHOE and TCP RENO algorithms, to understand the YeAH TCP algorithm better.

Week3 (October15-October21)

Tasks Completed:

• Differentiate between TCP TAHOE and TCP RENO with respect to the loss indication using 3 duplicate ACKs and timeout, and fast recovery and fast retransmission.
• Go through the YeAH TCP algorithm in detail

Tasks to be done:

• Dry run the ns-3 and linux YeAH codes to understand the implementation details of YeAH TCP.
• Download and install ns-3 and DCE.

Week4 (October21-October 28)

Tasks Completed:

• Dumbbell topology with 5 leaf nodes are run for ns-3 and linux stacks, congestion window and queue size graphs are plotted and compared with each other.
• Various parameters are being changed to try to overlap the ns-3 graph with the linux graph.
• Bandwidths were changed according to the values provided in paper but the graphs didn't match in the AIMD phase.

Week5 and Week6 (October28 - November10)

Tasks Completed:

• we experimented with dumbbell topology with two nodes
• Disabled FACK, DSACK in linux stack and simulated with SACK enabled and disabled.
• Recorded the results of different tests conducted and a report was written.
• Codes of yeahtcp in linux and ns3 stack were compared and no visible differences were noted.
