It is common for simulation and analytical studies to model Internet traffic as an aggregation of mostly persistent TCP flows. In practice, however, flows follow a heavytailed ...
In this paper we develop a simple analytic characterization of the steady state throughput, as a function of loss rate and round trip time for a bulk transfer TCP flow, i.e., a ...

—A sudden delay spike or reordering in the network can cause TCP to experience a loss event. Since loss is interpreted as a sign of congestion in TCP, this causes the protocol to...
We propose a natural, mathematically tractable model of TCP which captures both its additive-increase, multiplicative-decrease behavior and its feedback mechanism. Neither a fluid...
The space communication environment and mobile and wireless communication environments show many similarities when observed from the perspective of a transport protocol. Both type...
