	Title		: An NS2 TCP Evaluation Tool

   This document introduces a TCP performance evaluation tool for the 
   network simulator NS2.  This tool is motivated by the observation 
   that there is significant overlap among (but lack of an agreed set  
   of) the topologies, traffic, and metrics used by many researchers   
   in the evaluation of TCP alternatives: effort could be saved by 
   starting research from an existing framework.  As such, our tool 
   includes several typical topologies and traffic models; it measures 
   some of the most important metrics commonly used in TCP evaluation; 
   and it can automatically generate simulation statistics and graphs 
   ready for inclusion in latex and html documents.  The tool also 
   contains an extendable open-source framework.  With community effort, 
   we hope the tool evolves into a widely accepted, well-defined set of 
   TCP performance evaluation benchmarks.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
