[e2e] High Packet Loss and TCP

[Durga Prasad Pandey]

Just  a note- Dr KV Ramani , one of the people who worked (alongwith Prof. 
Kumar I presume) in bringing the Internet and VSATs to India is now 
heading the HP Labs India initiative to provide connectivity and its 
benefits to Rural India. DakNet is another project(www.daknet.net) that is 
working in this area. Still another one is TeNet at IIT 
Madras(www.tenet.res.in) which is trying to bring the benefits of telecom 
to the masses.
