I seem to remember discussion at one of the meetings of some ATM performance work that looked at the benefits of discarding whole TCP packets when a cell was dropped. Can someone give me a pointer to this?

Sally Floyd was coauthor of a paper with Allyn Rommanow that just got published in JSAC May 1995, "Dynamics of TCP Traffic over ATM". Since Sally coauthored, I usually look at ftp.ee.lbl.gov and get vectored to a sun site somewhere. My copy of README.papers is a old, but try playground.sun.com:pub/tcp_atm/tcpatm_dyn.0?.ps.Z where the ? is replaced with a document version. Curtis
