TCP - IP White Papers
On the Stationarity of TCP Bulk Data Transfers
Overview While the Internet offers a single best-effort service, the paper remarks that core backbones are in general over provisioned, end users have increasingly faster access and CDN and p2p solutions can mitigate network variations. As a consequence, the Internet is to some extent already mature enough for the deployment of multimedia applications and applications that require long and fast transfers, e.g. software or OS updates. This paper devise a tool to investigate the stationarity of long TCP transfers over the Internet, based on the Kolomogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit test. BitTorrent is used to obtain a set of long bulk transfers and test this tool. Experimental results show that this tool correctly identify noticeable changes in the throughput of connections.
