TCP Communication/Transmission Graph

[Iluvnetwork]

The sender increases the congestion window gradually and slighly in tcp communication. Which means as time elapses, the amount of data should be increasing slightly and gradually. BUT, if the sender detects the packet loss, the sender would cut the congestion window in half. So, the amount of data should be cut in half. I think this graph describes the tcp communication very well. If you believe that this graph describes well the relationship between time and amount of data being sent, please let me know. If not :(, please explain to the relationship between time and amount of data being sent in tcp communication.

Your links do. The first, though, only shows the CA phase for "classical" TCP. The second reference is especially nice, although it's a bit dated.

OMG! Reading new TCP algorithm(BBR) is much funnier than I expected.
Thank you very much :)

Believe it or not, I've been kicking around in my mind, for some time, a similar approach for TCP, but Google published first.

"Classical" TCP flow management leaves much to be desired.  Its primary purpose is to avoid network congestion collapse, which it does, but otherwise, its far from optimal.  The new BBR looks very, very nice.

The new BBR looks very impressive even though I wasn't able to understand it fully. Though I am not sure, I think the new BBR works much better than the original one(Loss-based congestion control) if the data is large. I think both control algorithms' transmission speeds would be pretty much same for the small data. Conclusion is that the new BBR is awesome!!!
