The Impact of Delay Variations on TCP Performance

Overview This paper studies to which extent variable delays in mobile networks affect TCP performance. The main contribution is a simple analytical model that determines the TCP timeout duration from given network parameters. Based on the model, the paper quantifies the risk of spurious timeouts and their impact on TCP goodput. The results show that TCP is quite insensitive to variable delays.
