[e2e] congestion correlation?

[Adam Wolisz]

The answer is: NO
For example in 1999 we have done measurements both ways
between Berlin, Germany and Berkeley, CA:
Losses in the direction; Berkeley=>Berlin
have been much higher.
We believe that there is much more content being
transported from US to Europe than another way round.
And the capacities are not asymmetric enough.
(if at all).
Btw: Does anybody know if there is at all an asymmetry
of the resources between US and Europe?


You could contact Dorgham Sisalem,

for more details on this measurements, done in the
context of his Ph.D Thesis on TCP friendly
UDP traffic, available from
