The primary objective of the project is to develop a suite of interoperable strategies that can facilitate the user domain TCP window congestion control mechanisms to well cooperate with the intrinsic haracteristics/behaviours of the OBS transmission. We expect that the results of performance analysis are considered heuristic for gaining better knowledge and deeper understanding on the TCP performance behaviour over both the conventional Internet and the OBS networks. Network Simulator NS-2 is used, where the library in Optical WDM Network Simulator OWNS has been significantly extended.
