> Thank Goodness for well-behaved applications, right? > ( Misbehaving TCP > stacks and UDP-based apps don't obey these back off > rules. ) You can see lot of intiatives to make things more TCP friendly to avoid hogging of bandwidth by some selected applications( mostly multimedia based.) More details on the intiative can be obtained from http://www.psc.edu/networking/tcp_friendly.html. Equation based congestion control and DCCP are some of the options for such applications which doesnt obey back off rules. > It would be interesting to see some recent > verification that well-behaved > TCP-apps are the norm on the Internet...any data out > there in this regard? You can see a clear demarkation in the UDP Vs TCP study by WPI (ftp://ftp.cs.wpi.edu/pub/techreports/pdf/02-17.pdf)..Particularly figure 6. Also, the analysis of mice Vs elephants is important in addtion to mis-behaving flows. Also, Sally floyd maintains a page on recent measurement studies on TCP-friendly application.
