Historical Papers

Several papers showing development of the Internet and its protocols.

P. Karn and C. Partridge, “Improving round-trip time estimates in reliable transport protocols.” In Proc. SIGCOMM ’87, Stowe, Vermont, United States, Aug 11–13, 1987

Lot of math for a simple idea. But also good introduction for the problem and terminology.
