    TCP Throughput Calculation Formula

    Uploaded by

    Victor Bitar
    The document discusses formulas for calculating TCP throughput. It explains that TCP throughput can be calculated by dividing the receive buffer size by the round-trip time. A example calculation shows that for a 64KB buffer size and 170ms RTT, the throughput would be about 3Mbps. It also discusses that the optimal receive buffer size is typically two times the bandwidth-delay product, and that higher window sizes or lower round-trip times result in higher TCP throughput.

    Sometimes, we are feeling slow Internet connection, but don't know how we can measure the
    speed and what is right speed, download speed, TCP throughput, Ican expect. Measuring and
    calculating TCP throughput is not that hard. See below famous TCP throughput formula.

    RCV buffer size / RTT = Max TCP throughput = ? bps

    ** Buffer size is normally 65Kbps

    ex) (64Kbyte x 8bit) / 0.17 = 3011764 bps = 3Mbps,


    (RTT=170ms)

    RCV Buffer size / TCP receive window size

    - RCV buffer size is denoted as TCP receive window size.


    Window systems have 64Kbyte of window size as default

    (Window NT and Millennium have 8Kbytes of window size).


    The TCP/IP standard allows for a receive window up to 65,535
    bytes in size, which is the maximum value that can be specified
    in the 16-bit TCP window size field. Why 65Kbytes? Well, more
    accurate expression will be 65,535 = (2^16)-1. To improve TCP
    throughput, speed, performance whatever you called, in high
    speed connection or high delay network, you can increase TCP
    window size(reference RFC 1323). However, if transport link is
    not stable, it might give you worse performance. Packet loss

    or bottleneck in the network is the most likely factors that


    are leading to the TCP throughput reductions.

    Optimal TCP window size

    - Optimal RCV buffer size is considered to be 2 x BDP,

    where BDP is the Bandwidth*Delay Product

    ex) RTT is 20 ms, and connection speed is 10 Mbps.


    2 x (10Mbps/8 * .020s) = 50Kbytes

    Well, default window size 65kbytes is not adequate for


    today's network. In these days, most of network is

    100Mbps or higher.

    Round Trip Time(RTT)

    - If you are not using TCP window scaling option (RFC

    1323), TCP window size will be used as 64Kbytes. If


    then, Round Trip Time(RTT) is the main factor to decide
    TCP throughput between locations.

    RTT10 ms => TCP throughput = 52428000 bps = 52Mbps


    RTT20 ms => TCP throughput = 26214000 bps =
    26Mbps
    RTT50 ms => TCP throughput = 10485600 bps =
    10Mbps
    RTT100 ms => TCP throughput = 5242800 bps =
    5.2Mbps
    RTT150 ms => TCP throughput = 3495200 bps =
    4.3Mbps
    RTT200 ms => TCP throughput = 2621400 bps =
    2.5Mbps
    RTT300 ms => TCP throughput = 1747600 bps =
    1.7Mbps
    RTT500 ms => TCP throughput = 1048560 bps =
    3/4

    1Mbps
    ** Used maximum TCP window size = 65Kbytes = 65535

    You can see the deficiency with the greater RTT.
