An overview and comparison of analytical TCP models
Inas Khalifa, Ljiljana Trajković · 2004
Modeling TCP performance is an important issue that attracted research attention over the past decade. In this paper, we present an overview of models used to capture the TCP behavior. We compare several existing analytical methods with respect to modeled attributes, modeling assumptions, and validation techniques. We also identify features that new TCP models should possess. Finally, we address the importance of devising common validation techniques and performance evaluation metrics for TCP models.
