abstract = {Considering a single bottleneck model of TCP with
a constant number of greedy and nonhomogeneous sources and assuming that TCP
timeouts do not occur, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions, related
to the bandwidth delay product, to guarantee that the buffer will never empty.
We also demonstrate by simulation that weaker conditions could be adequate to
maintain high utilization in practice and discuss delay and packet drop rate
implications.}
