- Measurement and Classification of Out-of-Sequence Packets in a Tier-1 IP Backbone
- An important characteristic of any TCP connection is the sequencing of packets within that connection. Generally, if sequence numbers are monotonically increasing, then all is well - data flows through that connection without loss, and the network does not introduce pathological problems such as in-network duplication and reordering. Conversely, out-of-sequence...

- Modeling Internet Backbone Traffic at the Flow Level
- Modeling the Internet traffic is an important issue. It is unlikely that one will be able to understand the traffic characteristics, predict network performance (e.g., for QoS guarantees or Service Level Agreement definition), or design dimensioning tools without analytical models. The successful evolution of the Internet is tightly coupled to...
