In this paper we focus on one type of TCP enhancement commonly used to improve performance for connections over heterogeneous physical layer, namely, TCP connection splitting or split TCP, where the end-to-end TCP connection is split in segments so that each segment runs over a homogeneous environment and is optimized separately. This paper presents a simple model capturing some of the features of this scheme where split segments are essentially "coupled" TCP connections. We use simulation to validate our models and use our model to analyze situations where split TCP is preferred to the end-to-end scheme, and where the performance gain of splitting vanishes by investigating factors including initial window size, file size, number of on-going connections and loss.
