What is Detection of pathological TCP connections using a segment trace filter about?

This paper discusses preliminary results of a study which attempted to distinguish pathological TCP connections using a trace of Ethernet packets on a sub-net of the Internet . It describes how a ' segment trace filter -wa s used to isolate sub-optimal TCP connections . The segment trace filter was used to identify those TCP connections which were mos t likely pathological . and was constructed base d on the assumption that retransmission rate s greater than .5 or 10 percent are good indicators of improper behavior . This paper describes how several phenomena were observe d by analyzing connections identified using th e filter . It also presents the results of a simulation study of TCP retransmission rates in congested environments . which was performed t o provide further information that could he use d to tune the filter . TCP Segment Trace Analysis A common method of studying T( .'P performance problems is by analyzing a trace of th e relevant TCP segments collected using a network monitoring device . To reduce the difficulty of trace analysis . a tool [1] was developed, which presents a graphical visualization of the detailed segment timings . showing eac h path of a specified
