Abstract
The precise nature of TCP dynamics over Internet connections has not been well understood, since the existing results are solely analytical or based on simulations. We employ the time-dependent exponent curves and logarithmic displacement curves to study TCP AIMD congestion window-size traces over Internet connections. We show that these dynamics have two dominant parts, a stochastic component in response to network traffic and deterministic chaotic component due to the non-linearity of protocol. These dynamics can be largely characterized as anomalous diffusions with a very large exponent.
