Abstract: 'Standard' TCP (TCP Reno) is a reliable transport protocol
that is designed to perform across a wide variety of networks
conditions, though it is not optimized for any. Several experiments
and analyses have shown that this protocol is not suitable for each
and every kind of application and environment - e.g., bulk data
transfer in high bandwidth, large round trip time networks.  In this
document, we review and compare different emerging alternatives
that try to solve this and other problems.
