Abstract :
We evaluate a TCP-level method, TCP segment size adaptation, to overcome the impact of wireless uplink losses. The performance improvement obtained can be as large as orders-of-magnitudes, and the required TCP sender code modification is limited to a few lines. The improvement can be further bolstered by combining the adaptation method with retransmission timeout (RTO) backoff containment.
