Abstract

This paper investigates discrete random process describing behavior of the Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease algorithm of networking Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). We use the sequence of TCP rounds with no data loss events to define the end-to-end path data loss behavior. The Markov chain embedded in the random process is described and the theorem on its ergodic property is proved. Further analysis yields the estimates of stationary first and second moments of the congestion window size which are key performance metrics of TCP protocol.
