We spent some time poring over a document from Microsoft’s Research Asia (the guys who designed the Compound TCP/IP [CTCP] algorithm) and it details how the algorithm works. It doesn’t detail how Microsoft has implemented the algorithm – there are alpha, beta, and gamma values that are tweakable, but it doesn’t go into how Microsoft has tweaked them. It looks like this was a document just to prove that CTCP was feasible and ready to be included in Vista..Read on over here.
