Abstract

We describe in this paper a new TCP ACK pacing scheme that dynamically tunes its behavior to account for variations or changes in the network load. The scheme does not require the knowledge of when TCP is in the slow-start or congestion avoidance phase to determine the proper ACK pacing rate.
