This paper presents a simulation study of various TCP acknowledgment generation and utilization techniques. We investigate the standard version of TCP and the two standard acknowl...
As third generation (3G) wireless networks with high data rate get widely deployed, optimizing TCP performance over these networks would have a broad and significant impact on data...
Delayed acknowledgments were introduced to conserve network and host resources. Further reduction of the acknowledgment frequency can be motivated in the same way. However, reduci...
While analyzing CAIDA Internet traces of TCP traffic to detect instances of data reneging, we frequently observed seven misbehaviors in the generation of SACKs. These misbehaviors...
A selective acknowledgment (SACK) mechanism, combined with a selective repeat retransmission policy, has been proposed to overcome the limitations with the cumulative acknowledgme...
