Implementation of TCP Low Priority (TCP-LP) in ns-3

Course Code: CS822

Assignment: #FP3

Overview:

TCP-LP is a TCP variant for Low priority data transfer in which the low priority data utilises only the excess bandwidth [1] and has been implemented in ns-2 [2]. This repository contains an implementation of TCP-LP in ns-3 [3].

TCP-LP Example:

An example program for TCP-LP has been provided in

examples/tcp/tcp-variants-comparison.cc

and should be executed as

./waf --run "tcp-variants-comparison --transport_prot=TcpLp"
