[Iccrg] how fast do modern high-speed TCPs go?

[Eggert, Lars]

Hi,

pretty basic question: how fast do modern high-speed TCPs go over WAN paths? 

More specifically, can they fill a multi-Gbps or even tens-of-Gbps paths? Under what path conditions (reserved capacity?), using what hardware? Can they still be called fair to regular TCP in case the path has cross or other traffic?

Does anyone have a quick pointer to some recent papers?

Thanks,
Lars
