Last year the three of us were selected to form the committee to pick the 2008 Awardee(s), with Vern Paxson chairing. In a departure from previous years, during which a single paper received the award, for 2008 the award went to a set of three papers: ¢ Internet routing instability, Craig Labovitz, G. Robert Malan, and Farnam Jahanian, Proc. SIGCOMM 1997. ¢ The macroscopic behavior of the TCP congestion avoidance algorithm, Matthew Mathis, Jeffrey Semke, Jamshid Mahdavi, and Teunis Ott, CCR 27(3), 1997. ¢ Modeling TCP throughput: A simple model and its empirical validation, Jitendra Padhye, Victor Firoiu, Don Towsley, and Jim Kurose, Proc. SIGCOMM 1998. In this brief note
