The slow start mentioned in the transmission control section has an interesting history. Back when most internet packets were single characters representing keystrokes over something like Telnet, an algorithm was invented to wait a moment before sending ACKs in order to possobily piggy back out on the next data packet. This ended up interplaying with TCP slow start and adaptaive congestion control for years and was only resolved in the early 2000s if if I recall correctly. The inventor of that algorithm posts here frequently if he wants to comment on my post about this again. :) |
