Disclosed is a system for dynamically suppressing Fast Retransmission and Recovery (FRR) on high-latency Transport Control Protocol (TCP) connections with low ongoing packet loss. This system measures the relative rate of recent packet loss and adjusts the suppression of FRR based on the measured rate. Provided that the rate of actual packet loss is low, high-latency TCP connections can benefit significantly from suppressing FRR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
