Abstract. This paper studies the impact of variable transmission delays on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Sudden delay variations, which are not uncommon in mobile networ...
: This paper has several contributions. First, we report that long sudden delays during data transfers are not uncommon in the GPRS wireless WAN. Long sudden delays can lead to spu...
- Delays on Internet paths, especially including wireless links, can be highly variable. On the other hand, a current trend for modern TCPs is to deploy a fine-grain retransmission...
