Abstract. Numerous studies have shown that packet reordering is common, especially in networks where there is high degree of parallelism and different link speeds. Reordering of pa...
We present icTCP, an "information and control" TCP implementation that exposes key pieces of internal TCP state and allows certain TCP variables to be set in a safe fash...

IP networks do not provide any guarantee that packets belonging to the same flow are delivered in the correct order. It can be argued that out-of-order reception of packets is lim...

By providing the best-effort service, the Internet Protocol (IP) does not maintain the same order of packets sent out by a host. Therefore, due to the route change, parallelism in...
TCP performs poorly on paths that reorder packets significantly, where it misinterprets out-of-order delivery as packet loss. The sender responds with a fast retransmit though no...
