(*) denotes paper that should be read FIRST and  more carefully.

Note: the list will be increased.

ACRONYMS: ToN stands for IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
INFOCOM and SIGCOMM are usually found online for free.
 A good way to locate papers is to find the authors and go their web-site.
Furthemore, people are happy to email their work to you.
 Often www seraches are just as effective (Google works for me).
