Malhotra et al (2005) Modeling the interaction of IEEE 802.3x hop-by-hop flow control and TCP end-to-end flow control (NGI)
It models TCP flows interacting with Ethernet Pause (802.3x) in two tandem queues as a Markov process. The TCP’s AIMD is modeled as a MMPP process with \(N\) states with monotonically decreasing sending rate. The AIMD is modeled as a move of the state \(a\to a-1\) (rate increase) or \(a\to...
