How to understand the fundamental nature of wired and wireless networks isa critical and interesting issue. With the rapid development of networks, theperformance is obtaining more and more attention. This book is trying toanswer the following questions. (i) what are the stability characteristics ofTCP flows over a wired networks, which is in the linear scale, including thedefinition of stability, the normalized fluid model, general AIMD parameterpairs, etc; (ii) what are the performance of TCP flows under an aggressivescale, including the stochastic model, homogeneous round trip time, heterogeneousround trip time, mixture of long live and short live flows, etc; (iii)when TCP is applied to wireless networks, how to characterise the TCPinfluence? How to set up a two-level model? What is the packet level performanceand what is the call level performance. This book is useful to theprofessionals in network community like professors, graduate students, andresearchers.
