Crossover scaling effects in aggregated TCP traffic with congestion losses.

We critically examine the claims that TCP congestion control contributes to the observed self-similar traffic rate correlations. A simulation model is designed to analyze aggregated traffic of many TCP file transfers, with network topologies large enough so that each transfer has independent packet...
