Dear All We Deal with TCP window size all day every day across the southern cross from LA to Australia which adds around 160ms... I've given up looking for a solution to get around physical physics of sending TCP traffic a long distance at a high speed.... UDP traffic however comes in very fast....

I see this on a daily occurance with large data-set transfers; generally if the data-set is large multiples of the initial window. I've never tested medium latency( <100ms) with small enough payloads where it may pay-off threading out many thousands of sessions. However, medium latency with large files (50M-10G) threads well in the sub 200 range and does a pretty good job at filling several Gig links. None of this is scientific; just my observations from the wild.....infulenced by end to end tunings per environment. On Tue, Jun 18, 2013 at 7:45 AM, Jakob Heitz <jakob.heitz@ericsson.com>wrote:
Thanks Fred. Sawtooth is more familiar. How much of that do you actually see in practice?
Cheers, Jakob.

It is also called a "sawtooth" or similar terms. Just google "tcp sawtooth" and you will see many references, and images that depict the traffic pattern.

What is a TCP jackknife?
