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

[David P. Reed]

Jon - not meaning to distract from your main goal, I find I am very 
interested in some of this stuff for research purposes, not just teaching.

Proxicommunications (is to LAN as telecommunications is to WAN) has 
always been a poor stepchild in many communications theory and algorithm 
thinking, but its importance seems to be growing faster than the 
importance of telecommunications.

So additional research on behavior of traffic that involves a mix of 
proxi- and tele- traffic over LANs is probably well worth carrying out.
