Abstract

The growing importance of Web traffic on the Internet makes it important that we have an accurate understanding of this traffic source in order to plan and provision. In this paper we present an empirical model of TCP connections used in delivering Web objects. Our TCP model takes advantage of a unique behavior of TCP that it alternates between inactive and active periods of transmitting data segments in bursts. Based upon the bursts in a TCP connection, we characterize TCP by defining the period between the starts of adjacent bursts and measuring the number of data segments transmitted and the time spent in this period. From the characterization we develop a TCP model that attempts to capture the major aspects of the real TCP connection.
