We point out that the huge capacity &lt;br /&gt;offered by the GPON highlights the enormous differences that &lt;br /&gt;can be showed among the available and actually exploitable &lt;br /&gt;bandwidth in the case of TCP. In this ultrabroadband &lt;br /&gt;environment we also investigated on use of the UDP and of the&lt;br /&gt;multisession TCP. A correlation in terms of QoE is also reported.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
