ABSTRACT:
A scheme of evaluating performance of a network connecting a remote terminal to a data service system is described. The scheme emulates a communication protocol to transfer data reliably and in sequence with congestion control. The communication protocol includes mechanisms for acknowledgment and retransmission and a dynamic window size. The scheme restricts the dynamic window size not to be greater than a predetermined maximum window size, and the amount of data transferred to a predetermined data transfer size, thereby accurately measuring user-perceived network throughput without significantly impacting network performance.
