This paper introduces a preliminary study of synchronisation between packet loss events across concurrent TCP flows. Loss synchronisation is explored over four routing paths – one inside Australia and three international paths (Australia to Asia, Europe and North America respectively). We confirm that loss synchronisation does exist but the level varies from path to path. We outline further work that is required to improve our understanding of loss synchronisation.
