Abstract:
This paper presents observations of traffic to and from a
particular World-Wide Web server over the course a year and a
half. This paper presents a longitudinal look at various network
path properties, as well as the implementation status of various
protocol options and mechanisms. In particular, this paper
considers how World-Wide Web clients utilize TCP connections to
transfer web data; the deployment of various TCP and HTTP options;
the range of round-trip times observed in the network; packet
sizes used for WWW transfers; the implications of the measured
advertised window sizes; and the impact of using larger initial
congestion window sizes. These properties/mechanisms and their
implications are explored. An additional goal of this paper is to
provide information to help researchers better simulate and
emulate realistic networks.
