A positive systems model of TCP-like congestion control: asymptotic results (2006, background): “Unfortunately, the assumptions under wh ich these results are derived, namely of source synchronisatio n and uniform RTT, are quite restrictive (although they may, for example, be valid in many long-distance networks [5]).”
