Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In this paper, the author investigated the performance of data transmission and network operation efficiency based on interactions between various TCP congestion control algorithms and AQM schemes. New existing TCP versions (TCP Compound, TCP CUBIC, and TCP New Reno) and AQM schemes (CoDel and PIE) have been incorporated. Simulation tool ns-3 has been chosen that supports all these technologies. The research methodology, its concept, realization and evaluation of results and conclusions are done at a good level.

However, I am missing the authors’ higher original (scientific) contribution in this field. Conclusions and findings can be useful for some people but I would expect the author to go deeper in that field and investigate weaknesses of implemented technologies (based on results acquired) and propose at least some refinements/modifications that could improve the performance of those solutions in e.g. varied RTT scenarios.

The paper has a good structure, doesn’t have to be changed a lot, only new modified method(s) would be included in particular parts.

Reviewer 2 Report

 

The title of the article should be more representative of the context (i.e. congestion control). Now it is too generic.

TCP abbreviation is missing.

Lines 142-144 should be placed at the Conclusions section.

Section 5 could just be named as "Performance Evaluation".

Conclusions section is well written. However, practical applications of the recommended combination of protocols and parameters would be beneficial.

I accept the author’s response to my comments as well as a revised version of the paper and I consider this paper ready for publication after making minor corrections highlighted in the attached file.
