Extension to individual TCP transmission of instantaneous throughput based on occupied duration

Abstract

The instantaneous throughput is evaluated based on the communication traffic volume per unit time. Although the method can roughly evaluate that throughput within a unit time, it is difficult to evaluate the communication situation of each packet in detail. Therefore, the authors have proposed the method of deriving instantaneous throughput based on the occupied duration in individual UDP transmission. In the method, not only instantaneous throughput per packet but also that of other signals such as beacon signals can be evaluated. In this paper, we define and extend the occupied duration in individual TCP transmission, and show an example of analysis compared with the conventional methods.
