Summary:
Since the TCP is the transport protocol for most Internet applications, evaluation of TCP throughput is important. In this paper, we establish a framework of evaluating TCP throughput by simple measurement. TCP throughput is generally measured by sending TCP traffic and monitoring its arrival or using data from captured packets, neither of which suits our proposal because of heavy loads and lack of scalability. While there has been much research into the analytical modeling of TCP behavior, this has not been concerned with the relationship between modeling and measurement. We thus propose a lightweight method for the evaluation of TCP throughput by associating measurement with TCP modeling. Our proposal is free from the defects of conventional methods, since measurement is performed to obtain the input parameters required to calculate TCP throughput. Numerical examples show the proposed framework's effectiveness.
