Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for communicating data via the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are provided. The apparatus receives from a sender a plurality of data segments according to a sequential order, infers at least one missing data segment in the sequential order, and acknowledges to the sender receipt of a highest byte sequence number of a received data segment plus one based on the inference of the at least one missing data segment. The apparatus also adjusts a receive window based on at least one of: the inference of the at least one missing data segment, or a round-trip-time of a TCP connection, wherein the receive window indicates a buffer capacity for receiving data segments. The apparatus further advertises the adjusted receive window to the sender.
