TCP self-clocking and bandwidth sharing

— We propose a simple queueing model for TCP transfers sharing a bottleneck link and examine its behavior when the buffer at the bottleneck is large compared to the bandwidth-delay product. This model explains some behaviors of TCP that have already been observed, and predicts other behaviors that are new. We present measurements that demonstrate these behaviors in the current Internet.
