[e2e] TCP Local Area Normal behaviour? any references?

[Craig Partridge]

Hi Jon:

All the studies I can think of were done in the early 1990s and focused on
proving the LAN technology rather than testing TCP (with the exception
of Dave Borman's "whoops, TCP went a gigabit over HIPPI" work).  I'd dig
in the IETF archives for Dave's talk.  I seem to recall Raj Jain did
a couple of studies on FDDI around the same time (that showed the TTRT
was a key parameter).
