This directory contains ns-2 patches and simulations scripts for validating
performance of the Stateful TCP congestion control algorithms. These 
algorithms are explored in the following publications:

      TCP-friendly SIMD Congestion Control and Its Convergence Behavior. 
      In Proceedings of ICNP'2001: The 9th IEEE International Conference on 
      Newtork Protocols, Riverside, CA, November 2001.
    * [JGMB:TR01] Shudong Jin, Liang Guo, Ibrahim Matta, and Azer Bestavros.

  You should find the following files under this directory:

    + README 
        This file.

    + simd.ns.patch
        ns-2 patch for the spectrum of TCP congestion window update algorithms 
      explored in the paper [JGMB:TR01], SIMD is also included. 
      This patch should work for ns2.1b7&ns2.1b8a or later. 

    + sims.html
        Instructions on how to run the scripts.

    + aimdscripts/*
        Scripts for studying long-term behavior of TCP, e.g., TCP compatibility
      and traffic smoothness. Detailed instructions on how to run these scripts
      can be found in the html file.

    + transient/*
        Scripts for studying TCP transient behavior, e.g., impulse response, 
      convergence to fairness. You should find the instructions in the html
      file.

    + bwcnt2.c
        A script file modified from Sally's original code to fit in calculating
      bandwidth used by SIMD. You need to compile it before using the package.


NOTE:
    Many of the simulation scripts (specifically, for TCP compatibility and 
    smoothness experiments) are shameless copied from Sally Folyd's work . 
    Thus, to obtain the figures in our papers, you have to download and 
    install package (the tar file ) from the same website.
