Laboratory Assignment#8:
TCP Features
Recommended reading for this laboratory assignment: Chapters 1 through 5, 7, and 8.
L8.1 INTRODUCTION
In this laboratory assignment, you will investigate techniques for ne-tuning TCP
conguration. In particular, you will investigate how such TCP features as Nagle’s
algorithm, Maximum Segment Size (MSS), receiver window size, and various TCP
avors inuence application performance.
L8.2 NAGLE’S ALGORITHM
Nagle’s algorithm addresses the issue of small packet size. Instead of immediately
transmitting small data packets, each of which would carry 40 bytes of TCP and IP
header information, Nagle’s algorithm ...
