[e2e] Is a control theoretic approach sound?

     Probably a naive question to many control-theoretic people (since I'm
not a control theorist):  The terms "packet-level" and "flow-level" were
brought up many times. Could you give a rigorous definition of "packet-level
dynamic" and "flow-level dynamic"?
     Thank you:)
