- A Study of Flow Statistics of IP Traffic With Application to Sampling
- This paper presents a new method of statistically characterizing long TCP flows. By considering statistics over short periods of time, it is shown that robust estimations on long flows can be obtained. This observation is discussed and tested on various sets of IP traces. As an application, flow characteristics are...

- Stackelberg Approach for Pricing Differentiated Services
- This paper considers both real-time traffic as well as data transfers sharing a common bottleneck link. The paper assumes that data transfer uses TCP congestion control protocol and that real-time traffic uses some TCP- friendly transport protocol that satisfies the same square-root formula for throughput. The performance measures are determined...
