A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : A Suggested Modification to Nagle's Algorithm Author(s) : G. Minshall Filename : draft-minshall-nagle-01.txt Pages : 4 Date : 18-Jun-99 The Nagle algorithm is one of the primary mechanisms which protects the internet from poorly designed and/or implemented applications. However, for a certain class of applications (notably, request-response protocols) the Nagle algorithm interacts poorly with delayed acknowledgements to give these applications poorer performance. This draft is NOT suggesting that these applications should disable the Nagle algorithm. This draft suggests a fairly small and simple modification to the Nagle algorithm to preserve Nagle as a means of protecting the internet while at the same time giving better performance to a wider class of applications. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-minshall-nagle-01.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-minshall-nagle-01.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-minshall-nagle-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
