TCP Vegas

TCP Vegas is a network protocol that manages data transmission between computers, aiming to optimize speed and reduce packet loss. Unlike traditional methods that react to network congestion after it occurs, Vegas predicts congestion by measuring delays and adjusts the sending rate proactively. If delays increase, indicating potential congestion, it slows down data transfer; if delays decrease, it speeds up. This approach helps maintain a smoother, more efficient flow of data across the network, improving performance and ensuring fair sharing of bandwidth among multiple users.
