Abstract- The degradation of Transport Control Protocol
(TCP) throughput in networks with lossy links is mainly due
to the coexistence of two types of losses, congestion losses
and link corruption losses. This is very similar to processor
performance degradation due to control hazards in CPU design.
First, two types of loss events in networks with lossy links can
be considered as two possibilities of a branching result (correct
