compared to FDT. Performance of UDT degrades less compared to the protocols that use TCP,
however it still degrades because the flow window size of UDT is limited by UDP’s socket
buffer size. RBUDP is not affected significantly because it has a minimal congestion-avoidance
algorithm, but it also slightly degrades because it also uses TCP as a signaling transport to
ensure reliability, which degrades with increasing ...
