This paper presents a new methodology for graphical representation of TCP performance, either in simulation or real tests, for scenarios where many connections carrying different amounts of data coexist simultaneously. The methodology is based on statistical evaluation of the connections' goodput and graphical representation of the results using three plotting styles, each optimized for a different analysis. The suitability of this methodology has been proven by analysing the performance of different TCP versions and configurations in a web-browsing simulated scenario.
