Much current simulation of TCP makes use of simplified
models of TCP, which is a large and complex protocol
with many variations possible between implementations.
We use direct execution of real world network stacks
in the network simulator ns-2 to compare TCP performance
between implementations and reproduce existing work. A
project called The Network Simulation Cradle provides the
real world network stacks and we show how it can be used
for performance evaluation and validation. There are large
differences in performance between simplified TCP models
and TCP implementations in some situations. Such differences
are apparent in some reproduced research, with results
using the Network Simulation Cradle very different
from the results produced with the ns-2 TCP models. In
other cases, using the real implementations gives very similar
results, validating the original research.
