Empirically derived analytic models of wide-area TCP connections

Open access
Paxson, V.·1994·IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking

Abstract

Analyzes 3 million TCP connections that occurred during 15 wide-area traffic traces. The traces were gathered at five "stub" networks and two internetwork gateways, providing a diverse look at wide-area traffic. The author derives analytic models describing the random variables associated with TELNET, NNTP, SMTP, and FTP connections. To assess these models the author presents a quantitative methodology for comparing their effectiveness with that of empirical models such as Tcplib [Danzig and Jamin, 1991]. The methodology also allows to determine which random variables show significant variation from site to site, over time, or between stub networks and internetwork gateways. Overall the author finds that the analytic models provide good descriptions, and generally model the various distributions as well as empirical models.>

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
