Abstract

A method is presented which can form the basis for capacity planning for \TCP\ traffic from persistent sources. The method estimates the rates of flows across an arbitrary network as determined by the \TCP\ flow control, and can therefore estimate the performance of a \TCP\ network. The method is simple, fast and provides good 1st order estimates with significant robustness. The method is extendible to a-persistent sources.
