网络测量是理解网络行为的重要手段，已经得到了广泛的研究。TCP和ICMP都应用于网络测量，而研究这两种协议测量结果之间的差异是一个较少讨论的重要课题。为了比较TCP和ICMP在测量主机连通性、RTT和丢包率方面的差异，我们设计了两组比较程序，并在仔细评估程序参数的基础上，在Internet上进行了大量的比较实验。实验结果表明，使用TCP和ICMP测量的主机连通性存在显著差异；总体来说，使用TCP测量的连通性准确率比使用ICMP测量的连通性精度高20%-30%。RTT和丢包率的情况比较复杂，这与路径负载和目的主机负载有关。而通常情况下，使用TCP或ICMP测量的RTT和丢包率非常接近。根据实验结果，我们还对协议的选择提出了一些建议，以进行准确的连通性、RTT和丢包率测量。
Network measurement is an important approach to understand network behaviors, which has been widely studied. Both TCP and ICMP are applied in network measurement, while investigating the differences between the measured results of these two protocols is an important topic that has been less addressed. In this paper, to compare the differences between TCP and ICMP when they are used in measuring host connectivity, RTT, and packet loss rate, we designed two groups of comparison programs, and after careful evaluating of the program parameters, we executed a lot of comparison experiments on the Internet. The experimental results show that, there are significant differences between the host connectivity measured using TCP or ICMP; in general, the accuracy of connectivity measured using TCP is 20–30% higher than that measured using ICMP. The case of RTT and packet loss rate is complicated, which are related to path loads and destination host loads. While commonly, the RTT and packet loss rate measured using TCP or ICMP are very close. According to the experimental results, we also give some advices on protocol selection for conducting accurate connectivity, RTT and packet loss rate measurements.
