    This is my favorite reference which explains the problem (please check the
    latest version from the IETF web).

    C. Partridge, 'ACK Spacing for High Delay-Bandwidth Paths with Insufficient
    Buffering', IETF, draft-partridge-e2e-ackspacing-00.txt, July 1997.

    I also got some more explanation and simulation results:

    N.K.G. Samaraweera, 'Return Link Optimisation for Internet Service Provision

    Using DVB-S Networks', CCR, ACM SIGCOMM, volume 29, number 3, July 1999.

    .

    good luck!!

    Subject: Burstiness WIth increased max cwnd.

    With Window scaling in TCP, the back-to-back packets a TCP flow sends
    can be very high. I was wondering if there is some study evaluating the
    increase in burstiness of TCP traffic with larger cwnd. Or, in general,
    are there some papers talking about how bursty the traffic is as seen by a
    router?

    Thanks,
    Mukul
