The TCP congestion control mechanism in standard implementations presents several problems; he cannot distinguish if the packet was lost by link failure or by congestion in the net (if the fault was in the link there is no need to active congestion control mechanisms); and the right adjust of your transmission rate requires information from packet loss. This work presents the new generalized window advertising (NGWA), which is a new congestion control scheme for TCP. The NGWA provides information considering the available bandwidth of the network infrastructure to the endpoints of the TCP connection. Results obtained by the NGWA approach were compared with those from TCP New Reno, RED, and standard TCP (using the network simulator NS-3), considering network topologies widely cited in the literature. A NGWA Linux implementation is also presented. The new method proved to be superior when compared with the traditional approaches, presenting a more stable operation, better fairness and lower packet loss, considering the set of tests carried out.
