Abstract— Internet routers require buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. The buffers need to be fast, and so ideally they should be small enough to use fast memory ...
The paper presents a technique for computing the individual throughputs and the average queue occupancy when multiple TCP connections share a single bottleneck buffer. The bottlene...
Applications that use parallel TCP streams to increase throughput must multiplex and demultiplex data blocks over a set of TCP streams transmitting on one or more network paths. W...
— In recent years, issues regarding the behavior of TCP in high-speed and long-distance networks have been extensively addressed in the networking research community, both becaus...

Two schools of thoughts have emerged over the recent debate on internet router buffer sizing. One school argues that the presence of a large number of flows leads to traffic desync...
