RFC 3522 The Eifel Detection Algorithm for TCP
نویسنده
چکیده
The Eifel detection algorithm allows a TCP sender to detect a posteriori whether it has entered loss recovery unnecessarily. It requires that the TCP Timestamps option defined in RFC 1323 be enabled for a connection. The Eifel detection algorithm makes use of the fact that the TCP Timestamps option eliminates the retransmission ambiguity in TCP. Based on the timestamp of the first acceptable ACK that arrives during loss recovery, it decides whether loss recovery was entered unnecessarily. The Eifel detection algorithm provides a basis for future TCP enhancements. This includes response algorithms to back out of loss recovery by restoring a TCP sender’s congestion control state.

متن کاملEvaluating the Eifel Algorithm for TCP in a GPRS Network
Large and sudden variations in packet transmission delays are often unavoidable in GPRS. This may cause spurious timeouts in TCP. Spurious timeouts affect TCP performance in two ways: (1) the TCP sender unnecessarily reduces its load, and (2) the TCP sender is forced into a go-back-N retransmission mode. The Eifel algorithm avoids these consequences. We evaluate the performance of the Eifel alg...
متن کاملEffect of delay spike on SCTP, TCP Reno, and Eifel in a wireless mobile environment
Eifel has been proposed as a solution to enhance the performance of TCP during delay spikes in a wireless mobile environment. This paper evaluates and compares the performance of SCTP, TCP, and Eifel during delay spikes. We have shown that although Eifel performs better than TCP Reno and SCTP when there are no packet losses, the opposite is true when packets are lost in the presence of delay sp...
