An adapted model for TCP steady state throughput and its performance analysis
Zhou Qi-gang · Journal of China Institute of Communications · 2003
Based on the statistical data of TCP flow measurements and the TCP throughput model of Padhye, in this paper, we propose an improved analytical model of TCP steady state throughput. This model considers not only the effects of triple acknologements and timeouts, but also the impact of slow start periods after timeouts. We present the comparison of results of the model with the live Internet measurements. It shows that our model can predict the throughput of TCP steady state flows more precisely. Finally, we also investigate the effects of several parameters of the model to the performance of TCP throughput.
