— End-to-end congestion control mechanisms such as those in TCP are not enough to prevent congestion collapse in the Internet (for starters, not all applications might be willing...
In ATM UBR networks supporting TCP traffic, optimal efficiency can only be envisaged if switches adopt a discard mechanism that operates at the packet level rather than the cell l...
An analytical framework for modeling a network of Random Early Detection (RED) queues with mixed traffic types (e.g. TCP and UDP) is developed. Expressions for the steady state go...
We study the effects of RED on the performance of Web browsing with a novel aspect of our work being the use of a usercentric measure of performance — response time for HTTP req...

In this paper we investigate the network performance of TCP hosts and gateways employing New Reno TCP using a parallel simulator. The gateway adopts the random early detection (RE...
