  abstract = {Satellite communication has become important in current
                  global data communication due to its large coverage
                  area. Satellite links are affected by two major
                  concerns: long propagation delays, and relatively
                  high error rates. Standard TCP congestion control
                  variants were not designed to address these
                  challenges, and generally depend on round trip times
                  (RTTs), and hence suffer heavily if the RTTs are
                  large.  Various TCP variants like Hybla have been
                  proposed in order to optimize the channel throughput
                  in heterogeneous networks incorporating satellite
                  links.  The error rates of satellite channels can be
                  substantially mitigated using forward error
                  correction (FEC) techniques.  In such a situation,
                  according to the results obtained by our comparative
                  study, the performance of Cubic, which is designed
                  for high speed networks, is better than Hybla, in
                  conditions of high latency and low error rates.},
