Reducing Web Latency: the Virtue of Gentle Aggression
"... To serve users quickly, Web service providers build infrastructure closer to clients and use multi-stage transport connections. Although these changes reduce client-perceived round-trip times, TCP’s current mechanisms fundamentally limit latency improvements. We performed a measurement study of a la ..."

Vivaldi: A Decentralized Network Coordinate System
- In SIGCOMM
, 2004
"... Large-scale Internet applications can benefit from an ability to predict round-trip times to other hosts without having to contact them first. Explicit measurements are often unattractive because the cost of measurement can outweigh the benefits of exploiting proximity information. Vivaldi is a simp ..."

Improving round-trip time estimates in reliable transport protocols
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1987
"... As a reliable, end-to-end transport protocol, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) uses positive acknowledgements and retransmission to guarantee delivery. TCP implementations are expected to measure and adapt to changing round-trip delay so that their retransmission behavior balances user throug ..."

if the round-trip time it measures is for an original transmission or a retransmission of a datagram. Many existing TCP implementa-tions do not handle this problem correctly. Furthermore, the problem of retransmission ambigu-ity is also a characteristic of other major transport protocols, including 0S1 TP4
Equation-based congestion control for unicast applications
- SIGCOMM '00
, 2000
"... This paper proposes a mechanism for equation-based congestion control for unicast traffic. Most best-effort traffic in the current Internet is well-served by the dominant transport protocol, TCP. However, traffic such as best-effort unicast streaming multimedia could find use for a TCP-friendly cong ..."

single round-trip time. We use both simulations and experiments over the Internet to explore performance. We consider equation-based congestion control a promising avenue of development for congestion control of multicast traffic, and so an additional motivation for this work is to lay a sound basis
Modeling TCP Throughput: A Simple Model and its Empirical Validation
, 1998
"... In this paper we develop a simple analytic characterization of the steady state throughput, as a function of loss rate and round trip time for a bulk transfer TCP flow, i.e., a flow with an unlimited amount of data to send. Unlike the models in [6, 7, 10], our model captures not only the behavior of ..."

Random Early Detection Gateways for Congestion Avoidance.
- IEEELACM Transactions on Networking,
, 1993
"... Abstract-This paper presents Random Early Detection (RED) gateways for congestion avoidance in packet-switched networks. The gateway detects incipient congestion by computing the average queue size. The gateway could notify connections of congestion either by dropping packets arriving at the gatewa ..."

The Performance of TCP/IP for Networks with High Bandwidth-Delay Products and Random Loss.
- IEEE/ACM Trans. Networking,
, 1997
"... Abstract-This paper examines the performance of TCP/IP, the Internet data transport protocol, over wide-area networks (WANs) in which data traffic could coexist with real-time traffic such as voice and video. Specifically, we attempt to develop a basic understanding, using analysis and simulation, ..."

with higher round-trip delays. This means that a simple first in first out (FIFO) queueing discipline might not suffice for data traffic in WANs. Finally, while the recent Reno version of TCP produces less bursty traffic than the original Tahoe version, it is less robust than the latter when successive losses
Variability in TCP Round-trip Times

Passive Estimation of TCP Round-Trip Times

Such an RTT distribution is important in buffer provisioning, configuration of active queue management, and detection of cong ..."
