Isn't it also packet loss ? The Mathis equation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_tuning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_tuning tput <= mss/(rtt*sqrt(plr)) if you have no packet loss then rtt starts to matter less it seems to me.

In the page you linked to, it mentions that Mathis formula does not apply if packet loss is low. In that case, you want the formula above: throughput <= RWIN / RTT. If your window is large enough, then round trip time isn't a big deal (unless you have a really big connection) RTT is a large factor in throughput at the beginning of the connection, when tcp slow start is restricting the opening of the receive window.
