A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : ACK Spacing for High Delay-Bandwidth Paths with Insufficient Buffering Author(s) : C. Partridge Filename : draft-rfced-info-partridge-01.txt Pages : 4 Date : 09-Oct-98 Suppose you want TCP implementations to be able to fill a 155 Mb/s path. Further suppose that the path includes a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit, so the round trip delay through the path is at least 500 ms, and the delay-bandwidth product is 9.7 megabytes or more. If we further assume the TCP implementations support TCP Large Windows and PAWS (many do), so they can manage 9.7 MB TCP window, then we can be sure the TCP will eventually start sending at full path rate (unless the satellite channel is very lossy). But it may take a long time to get the TCP up to full speed. Internet-Drafts are 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-rfced-info-partridge-01.txt". A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rfced-info-partridge-01.txt Internet-Drafts directories are located at: Africa: ftp.is.co.za Europe: ftp.nordu.net ftp.nis.garr.it Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au US East Coast: ftp.ietf.org US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu Internet-Drafts are also available by mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-rfced-info-partridge-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.
