we use measurements taken over the Internet to provide a basis for the chosen an alytic model: a TCP connection is modeled by a single node shared with other connections. Non bottleneck nodes are modeled by fixed delays. Sec ond, we consider a single TCP connection shar ing a bottleneck node with other connections. The traffic generated by these connections is assumed to be independent from the behavior of the TCP connection under study. We refer to this traf fic as exogenous traffic, and to these connections as non-controlled connections. Third, we consider two TCP connections sharing a bottleneck node. We use fluid models to analyze the behavior of the TCP connections.
