Analytic Models for the Latency and Steady-State Throughput of TCP Tahoe, Reno and SACK
Overview Continuing the process of improvements made to TCP through the addition of new algorithms in Tahoe and Reno, TCP SACK aims to provide robustness to TCP in the presence of multiple losses from the same window. This paper presents analytic models to estimate the latency and steady-state throughput to TCP Tahoe, Reno and SACK and validate models using both simulations and TCP traces collected from the Internet. In addition to being the first models for the latency of finite Tahoe and SACK flows, model for the latency of TCP Reno gives a more accurate estimation of the transfer times than existing models.
