Improving TCP performance over satellite channels

i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without help from a number of people. Thanks to Shawn for enlightening conversations, clever ideas, patience and for providing a stimulating research environment. I would also like to thank Hans and Ohio University's Internetworking Research Group for many animated discussions and much support over the last few years. Special thanks to my oocemates Boris, Brian, Chris, Doug and Rich for their assistance, conversations and for generally putting up with me. Also, I thank my family and many friends for their support over the years. This work would not have been possible without generous funding from
