TCP Anomalies: Identification and Analysis

Overview Passive measurements have recently received large attention from the scientific community as a mean, not only for traffic characterization, but also to infer critical protocol behaviors and network working conditions. This paper focuses on passive measurements of TCP traffic, main component of traffic. In particular, it proposes a heuristic technique for the classification of the anomalies that may occur during the lifetime of a connection. Since TCP is a closed-loop protocol that infers network conditions and reacts accordingly by means of losses, the possibility of carefully distinguishing the causes of anomalies in TCP traffic is very appealing and may be instrumental to the deep understanding of TCP behavior in real environments and the protocol engineering.
