About this TCP Evaluation SuiteIn late 2007, some academics and a few industry representatives met at Caltech to decide on some basic parameters and metrics for TCP evaluation and comparison, ie., a common TCP evaluation suite. One aim of this test suite is to make tests at different facilities more comparable. To this end, tests on all platforms will use the same traffic. Traffic TracesSome traffic traces have been described at WiL, and also in the paper: Towards a Common TCP Evauation Suite (by Lachlan L. H. Andrew, Cesar Marcondes, Sally Floyd, Lawrence Dunn, Romaric Guillier, Wang Gang, Lars Eggert, Sangtae Ha and Injong Rhee at PFLDnet2008.)

Common TCP Evaluation Suite
Since the explosion of the internet, various protocols to manage internet traffic have been used and new ones continue to be proposed. It is useful to compare the performance of various internet protocols, before wide spread implementation. In the past, many evaluations have used different parameters and metrics. This has made the test results difficult to compare.
