Empirically-Derived Analytic Models of Wide-Area TCP Connections: Extended Report
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze 2.5 million TCP connections that occurred during 14 wide-area traffic traces. The traces were gathered at five “stub” networks and two internetwork gateways, providing a diverse look at wide-area traffic. We derive analytic models describing the random variables associated with telnet, nntp, smtp, and ftp connections, and present a methodology for comparing the effectiveness of the analytic models with empirical models such as tcplib [DJ91]. Overall we find that the analytic models provide good descriptions, generally modeling the various distributions as well as empirical models and in some cases better.

Performance Modeling of TCP/IP in a Wide-Area Network
We examine the problem of evaluating the performance of TCP connections over wide area networks. Our approach combines experimental and analytic methods, and proceeds in three steps. First, we have used measurements taken over Renater to provide a basis for the chosen analytic model. This model turns out to be a shared bottleneck model, in which a finite buffer queue is shared by two connection...
متن کاملModeling the Performance of Short TCP Connections
Recently researchers have proposed several analytic models of TCP performance. Several of these models accurately describe the steady-state behavior of long TCP connections transferring megabytes of data. Several address the performance of short TCP connections transferring a few kilobytes of data, but assume no packet loss. However, it is not obvious how applicable these models are, since a we...
متن کاملOn Parameter Tuning of Data Transfer Protocol GridFTP for Wide-Area Networks
In wide-area Grid computing, geographically distributed computational resources are connected for enabling efficient and large-scale scientific/engineering computations. In the wide-area Grid computing, a data transfer protocol called GridFTP has been commonly used for large file transfers. GridFTP has the following features for solving problems of the existing TCP. First, for accelerating the ...
متن کاملTransport protocols for Internet-compatible satellite networks
We address the question of how well end-to-end transport connections perform in a satellite environment composed of one or more satellites in geostationary orbit (GEO) or low-altitude earth orbit (LEO), in which the connection may traverse a portion of the wired Internet. We first summarize the various ways in which latency and asymmetry can impair the performance of the Internet’s Transmission...
