• Simple feedback brings a good solution to minimize the prob-
lem due to frequent failure in the links.
• It is a good congestion control mechanism.
e following is a disadvantage:
• Implementation of feedback-based TCP requires modifica-
tion to existing TCP libraries.
5.4.2.2 TCP-ELFN TCP-ELFN is similar to TCP-F; however, in
contrast to TCP-F, the evolution of the proposal is based on a real
interaction between TCP and the routing protocol. Such interaction
is required to inform the TCP agent about link and route failures so
that it can avoid responding to the failure as if to congestion.
In TCP-ELFN, the ex ...
