On the Correspondency Between TCP Acknowledgment Packet and Data Packet
Overview At the TCP sender side, the arrival of an ack packet always triggers the sender to send data packets, which establishes a correspondency between the arrived ack packet and the sent data packets. In a TCP connection, the correspondency between every ack packet and its corresponding data packets forms a sequence. This sequence characterizes the sender's behavior. This paper proposes a method to estimate this correspondency sequence from the dump trace measured at the receiver side. Because many possible correspondency sequences can be constructed based on the trace, the problem here is an estimation problem, which is to select a most possible one from those candidate sequences. The method proposed first eliminates some candidates that violate basic TCP congestion behavior.
