Packet loss is an indicator of congestion and it causes TCP to reduce its congestion window size and throughput.TCP is designed for wired networks, where packet loss is mainly due to congestion.In wireless networks, TCP packet loss is often caused by transmission errors and handoffs. Hence, there is no need to reduce the TCP congestion window size.

E-Comm network architecture.
Statistical analysis of collected data reveals that:call inter-arrival times are long-range dependentcall holding times follow lognormal distribution and are uncorrelated.
Clustering analysis is used to model user behavior.Traffic is predicted using Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average(SARIMA) models.
E-Comm network coverage.
Analyzing packet loss in IP networks
A signal is decomposed into a hierarchical set of approximations and details using wavelet analysis. The detail part provides information in the time and frequency domains. It serves as a mathematical microscope for investigating complex traffic and loss pattern.
Loss pattern analysis: details on various time scales.
Characterize, model, and analyze collected traffic data.Apply statistical analysis and search for traffic invariants: self-similarity and long–range dependence.Understand underlying dynamical behavior of complex systems representing packet networks.
