11 Bibliography 

Below we list numbered, bibliographic sources used in performing this study. All listed 

sources are referenced by number within the report. Sources may be referenced multiple 

times. Sources listed below are grouped into topical categories. Within each category, we 

list sources alphabetically by the first author’s last name. Multiple sources in the same 

category by the same author are listed in increasing order of the year of publication. 

Sources without listed authors are placed at the end of relevant categories and ordered 

alphabetically by first word in the title. 

We order categories, based on their relation to the study, from more general to 

more specific. We begin with two categories (11.1 and 11.2) related to fundamental 

design of the Internet and operation of standard TCP. Three subsequent categories (11.3, 

11.4 and 11. 5) reflect current understanding about selected aspects of Internet topology, 

traffic and technology. A sixth category (11.6) identifies selected research regarding data 

transport in high-speed, high-delay networks. A seventh category (11.7) identifies some 

proposed replacement congestion control algorithms motivated by evolution of the 

Internet toward high transmission speeds. An eighth category (11.8) includes selected 

references to research regarding evaluation of Internet congestion control mechanisms. A 

ninth category (11.9) encompasses various Internet simulation models and related 

research. Two additional categories (11.10 and 11.11) cover software and statistical 

techniques used in performing this study. The final three categories (11.12, 11.13 and 

11.14) include general references and references related to empirical Internet test beds 

and to analytical models for studying networks.
