On the Interaction Between Internet Applications and TCP
Overview This paper focuses on passive traffic measurement techniques that collect traces of TCP packets and analyze them to derive, for example, round-trip times or aggregate metrics such as average throughput. The seminal work of Zhang has shown that in more than 50% of the TCP connections observed it is not the network that limits the throughput but rather the application or mechanisms such as TCP slow start or a too small a receiver window. Certain types of analysis of the network characteristics are meaningful only when performed on TCP traffic that experiences minimal interference by the application. For this purpose, the paper proposes a generic method that partitions the packets of a TCP trace in bulk data transfer and in application limited periods.
