Hello,
 
On the subject of tcp performance graphs, I have taken a few tcpdumps of some pages, to understand the entire process in more minute detail, and to co-relate the theory with the graphs in practice. I have plotted a graph of cumulative data received at the client side vs. time required to fetch it, and I find that for the data received by client, the first 2 packets arrive within a time of 0.212 sec. of each other, whereas the 3rd. packet takes another 0.5 secs. Thereafter, all packets take 0.212 sec.(relative to the previous packet) Is this the slow start algorithm I am observing(The 0.5 sec. difference)?
I have attached the graph here, if anybody wants to take a look... The first 2 points are there for SYN &SYN-ACK.
 
Thanks,
Anjali
