Passive Estimation of TCP Round-Trip Times
Overview This paper proposes and evaluates a passive measurement methodology that estimates the distribution of Round-Trip Times (RTTs) for the TCP connections that flow through a network link. Such an RTT distribution is important in buffer provisioning, configuration of active queue management, and detection of congestion unresponsive traffic. The proposed methodology is based on two techniques. The first technique is applicable to TCP caller-to-callee flows, and it is based on the 3-way handshake messages. The second technique is applicable to callee-to-caller flows, when the callee transfers a number of MSS segments to the caller, and it is based on the slow-start phase of TCP.
