Improving TCP performance over mobile networks
TL;DR: This paper presents how regular TCP is well tuned to react to packet loss inwired networks and discusses and illustrates the problems caused by the mobility of hosts using a graph tracing packets between fixed and mobile hosts.
TEAR: TCP emulation at receivers – flow control for multimedia streaming
TL;DR: The preliminary tests indicate that TEAR shows superior fairness to TCP with significantly lower rate fluctuations than TCP, and the future extension of TEAR for multicast environments is discussed, which is supported in part by NSF CAREER ANI-9875651.

Random early detection gateways for congestion avoidance
Sally Floyd,Van Jacobson +1 more
TL;DR: Red gateways are designed to accompany a transport-layer congestion control protocol such as TCP and have no bias against bursty traffic and avoids the global synchronization of many connections decreasing their window at the same time.

Congestion avoidance and control
TL;DR: The measurements and the reports of beta testers suggest that the final product is fairly good at dealing with congested conditions on the Internet, and an algorithm recently developed by Phil Karn of Bell Communications Research is described in a soon-to-be-published RFC.

TL;DR: This work considers the problem of efficiently generating graph models that accurately reflect the topological properties of real internetworks, and proposes efficient methods for generating topologies with particular properties, including a transit-stub model that correlates well with the internet structure.
