Abstract

An analytical model of TCP (Transport Control Protocol) over an end-to-end path with random abrupt round-trip time (RTT) changes is presented. Modeling the RTT as a stochastic process, we analytically quantify and compare between the degree of degradation of the steady-state average throughput and window size due to spurious retransmissions for the different versions of TCP (Reno/New Reno versus Tahoe). The modeling methodology in this paper is used for evaluating different design alternatives for TCP for highly dynamic networks.
