| Abstract — This paper examines the interactions between high speed Ethernet switches and TCP in high bandwidth delay product networks. First, the behavior of a range of Ethernet switches when two long lived connections compete to the same output port is investigated. Then we study the impact of these switches behaviors on TCP protocols in long and fast networks (LFNs). Several conditions in which scheduling mechanisms introduce heavy unfair bandwidth sharing and loss burst which impact TCP performance are shown. | |||||||||||||||||
