if you haven't done so, I highly recommend Alejandro and you take a  
look at RFC 5166 ("Metrics for the Evaluation of Congestion Control  
Mechanisms").

Throughput is one important metric to look at (Section 2.1.1), but  
there are many others that are equally important. Picking a congestion  
control algorithm only on the basis of achievable throughput is  
missing the bigger issues, such as fairness.
