About Rate-based Pacing

This page summarizes web informationa about rate-based pacing.

``Modeling the Performance of HTTP Over Several Transport Protocols'' (paper) characterizes when slow-start enhancements are important.
``Performance Interactions Between P-HTTP and TCP Implementations'' (paper) describes some interactions that occur in P-HTTP and the identifies the slow-start restart problem.
``Improving Restart of Idle TCP Connections'' (paper) describes rate-based pacing.
Rate Based Pacing for TCP (web page) is an earlier version of ``Improving Restart...''.
RBP code (web page to source code) can be downloaded.
RBP Animations (web page) are available on the web to illustrate pacing.
