Analysis of discarding policies in high-speed networks.

Networked applications generate messages that are segmented into smaller, fixed or variable size packets, before they are sent through the network. In high-speed networks, acknowledging individual packets is impractical; so when congestion builds up and packets have to be dropped, entire messages ar...
