TCP Model for Short Lived Flows

Abstract

We propose a recursive, analytical model to predict the TCP performance in terms of completion time for short-lived flows. Based on the knowledge of the average dropping probability, the average roundtrip time and the flow length, the model provides very good results when compared to simulation. the Slow Start phase. Second, the probability that a packet loss will trigger the Fast Recovery algorithm is very low. This is because the window size will be small during the entire duration of the transfer, and thus the sender will not be able to send enough
