Abstract

This article derives the transient behavior of the stochastic process X(t) for which in earlier articles it was proven that for αX(t))1/(1−α) (approximately, under low drop probability or ECN marking probability) describes the behavior of the congestion windows in certain transport protocols in the so-called TCP paradigm. The transient distribution is found explicitly and is particularly transparent for moments like E[(X(t))k |X(0)]. The purpose of this article is to be part of the mathematical foundation when comparing the many protocols in the TCP paradigm.
