A proposed link size optimization for electronic government project

The vision of E-government is to provide services to the public in an accessible, relevant and up-to-date format. The Egyptian E-government project will eventually involve all Egyptian ministries and government bodies. In this paper we propose an optimized link size for the link between the proposed Egyptian E-government project and the Internet with tens of thousands of computers running Web and E-mail applications. Transmission control protocol was used with slow start/collision avoidance, Jacobson´s, Karn´s, and Nagle algorithms for flow and congestion control.
