Linux TCP implements "Appropriate Byte Count" (ABC) and this penalizes
applications that do small sends. The problem is that the other side
may be delaying acknowledgments. If receiver doesn't acknowledge the
sender will limit itself to the congestion window. If the flow is light,
then you will be limited to 4 packets.
Right.
However it occured to me the other day that ABC could be made smarter.
If we sent small frames, ABC should account for that.
Is that part of the application of a byte-based RFC to packet-counting cwnd?
