We would like to introduce a unique dataset that covers thousands of network flow measurements realized through TCP in a data center environment. The TCP protocol is widely used for reliable data transfers and exists in many different versions. The different versions of TCP are specific in how they deal with link congestion through the congestion control algorithm (CCA). Our dataset represents a unique, comprehensive comparison of the 17 versions of TCP currently in use as part of the Linux operating system kernel. Each TCP flow was measured exactly 50x to eliminate the measurement instability. The comparison of the various TCP versions is based on the knowledge of 18 quantitative attributes representing the parameters of a TCP transmission. Our dataset is suitable for testing and comparing potentially new CCAs, creating new CCAs based on machine learning models, or creating and testing machine learning models, allowing the identification and optimization of the currently existing versions of TCP.

| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
