In this paper, we characterize wide-area network applications that use the TCP transport protocol. We also describe a new way to model the wide-area traffic generated by a stub network. We believe the fmffic model presented here will be useful in studying congestion control, routing algorithms, and other resource management schemes for existing and future networks.
