Downey (2007) TCP Self-Clocking and Bandwidth Sharing (ComNet)
This paper describes the case when the congestion window of a TCP is greater than the BDP. The BDP is defined as the bottleneck bandwidth multiplies by the end-to-end propagation delay. It finds that, in such scenario, the TCP is undergoing self-clocking transfer which means the cwnd does not play...

Bansel et al (2001) Dynamic Behavior of Slowly-Responsive Congestion Control Algorithms (SIGCOMM)
This paper evaluates different flow control algorithms and it is the first to propose the term “TCP-Friendliness” or “TCP-Compatible”. The motivation is that, a lot of algorithms are proposed to date to avoid the TCP’s AIMD, which changes the rate too drastic and thus not suitable for media streaming use....

Laor and Gendel (2002) The Effect of Packet Reordering in a Backbone Link on Application Throughput (IEEE Network)
A paper in the early year to investigate the effect of packet reordering to application throughput (esp. TCP). The conclusion is trivial but it gives some numbers:
