[ns] Reno and New Reno

[Beatriz Hargrave da Silva <beatriz.silva.external@mchp.siemens.de>]

Hi !

I�m using ns-2.1b8a and I when I try to stabilish a tcp connection with
TCP New Reno I get a error saying that TCP New Reno doesn�t exist.

(In my code I wrote the following:

set TCP [new Agent/TCP/NewReno])

But is works for 

Reno, TCP/Sack1 ...

Does anybody know why TCP/NewReno is not implemented in my ns ??


Another question:

Does anybody know what is the real difference  between TCP Reno and TCP
New Reno ??

I read that in TCP NewReno a "Partial ACK do not take TCP out of Fast
Recovery. TCP remains in Fast Recovery until all of the data outstanding
when Fast Recovery was initiated has been acknowledged". But what I
notice from my simulations is that TCP Reno already does that. Can
somebody help me to understand that ?

Thanks in advance.
