We have also conducted extensive, large scale experiments covering all BDP/RTT combinations and the result was documented in details in a SIGCOMM/CCR paper that can be found from a summary page http://code.google.com/speed/protocols/tcpm-IW10.html covering all our IW10 work. > to setup a ns-2 environment but due to lack of time I am a little bit > behind schedule.
