[ns] Determining Header Packet size in TCP Vegas vs Newreno

[remqnguyen]

Hi, my name is Remy and I'm student in the computer science department Cal State Fullerton.

As you guess, this is NS2 question but actually TCP Vegas one.  A classmate of mine claims that that TCP Vegas omits the header  for the total packet size  and TCP New reno does include the header with the total packet size. I look thru TCP Vegas.cc and NewREno.cc source and I do not see this.

I don't believe this could be true because TCP vegas creators would not be so negligible in their thought process. 


Is this true or where I should look in the code?



Thank you if you guys have time to answer this.


Remy
