Concluding remarks (2)

UDP transfers:

• Gilbert model has a good fit for short packet loss episodes, but underestimates the probability of having lengthier packet loss episodes.

TCP transfers:

• Lower packet loss rates than in case of UDP transfers due to the congestion control mechanisms in TCP sources.

• Short packet loss episodes (loss episodes of length one contribute with over 90%).
