is it true? is there any research work going on in this context?
TCP can fill a big pipe as long as the RTT isn't high and the packet
loss rate is near zero.
Some good treatment of the limitations and capabilities of TCP over
high bandwidth-delay product paths can be found in RFC 2488. That
document concentrates on satellite paths (i.e. high delay, modest
bandwidth) but many of its conclusions and suggestions are equally
applicable to high-capacity terrestrial paths (i.e. modest delay, high
bandwidth).
