Abstract
An approach is provided to improve network efficiency. A send segment size, such as a maximum segment size (MSS), that corresponds to data segments being sent to a receiver over a computer network. A data block is identified in a send buffer and the data block includes more than one data segments. Based on the determined send segment size, all but a remaining data segment of the data segments are sent to the receiver. The sent data segments are each the determined send segment size and the remaining data segment is smaller than the send segment size. The remaining data segment is sent to the receiver in response to identifying that the remaining data segment is a portion of the data block.
