TCP Extended Statistics MIB

Overview

RFC 4898, “TCP Extended Statistics MIB”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2007 by M. Mathis, J. Heffner, R. Raghunarayan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes extended performance statistics for TCP. They are designed to use TCP's ideal vantage point to diagnose performance problems in both the network and the application. If a network-based application is performing poorly, TCP can determine if the bottleneck is in the sender, the receiver, or the network itself. If the bottleneck is in the network, TCP can provide specific information about its nature. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
