  "The first part of the thesis ... contains an extensive TCP modeling survey that summarizes the most important TCP modeling work. Reviewed models are categorized as renewal theory models, fixed-point methods, fluid models, processor sharing models or control theoretic models. The merits of respective category is discussed and guidelines for which framework to use for future TCP modeling is given."

``Several high-bandwidth network interfaces use Interrupt Co- alescence (IC), i.e., they generate a single interrupt for multiple packets sent or received in a short time interval... We show that IC can be detrimental to TCP self-clocking, causing bursty delivery of ACKs and subsequent bursty transmission of data segments."
