Modeling the short-term dynamics of packet losses
Fernando da Silveira, Edmundo de Souza e Silva · ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review · 2006
Packet loss models play an essential role in computer networks analysis. Performance evaluation studies often abstract the loss and delay characteristics of a path or network with a single end-to-end analytical model. This model should be able to represent the characteristics of the path and accurately reproduce the impact of delay and losses on the studied protocol while keeping complexity low.
