TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the prevalent transport protocol used on the Internet today. It uses window-based transmission to provide the service of a reliable byte stream, and adapts the rate of transfer to the state (of congestion) of the network and the receiver. Basic mechanisms include:

...

In addition, RFC 3449 - TCP Performance Implications of Network Path Asymmetry provides excellent information since a vast majority of Internet connections are asymmetrical.
