Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. 
You can look at the following:

* The NS manual.

* The validation test suites. 

* The documentation that accompanies some of the validation tests,
  pointed-to on the web page at
  "http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-tests.html".

* The NS code.

* The papers about NewReno, available from
  "http://www.aciri.org/floyd/papers.html":

  Fall, K., and Floyd, S., Simulation-based Comparisons of Tahoe, Reno,
  and SACK TCP, Computer Communication Review, V. 26 N. 3, July 1996,
  pp. 5-21. 

  Floyd, S., and Henderson, T., The NewReno Modification to TCP's Fast
  Recovery Algorithm., RFC 2582, Experimental, April 1999. 
  
* The talks about NewReno, available from 
  "http://www.aciri.org/floyd/talks.html":

  Revisions to RFC 2001, August 1998. 

* For documentation about Vegas, other than the code and very brief
  validations in the NS simulator, you will have to look around a
  little for the relevant documents.
