[Iccrg] Some NIST work that might be of interest to members of this research group

[Saverio Mascolo]

quick question:  scalable tcp is very well know to be an example of unstable
protocol.
f.i. if you try to use in a  scenario as simple as 3 connections sharing a
bottlelenck you will get extreme unfairness, even more.. you will get one
connection getting all bandwidth and the others completely starved.

f.i., is this behaviour coming out from your models?

thanks,
saverio
