Abstract
After sending M consecutive DUP ACKs, M generally being three, the TCP receiver generates DUP ACKs every N packets, with N greater than one, with the eventually transmitted DUP ACK containing SACK information. After receiving the third DUP ACK the TCP transmitter uses the positive acknowledgements provided in the SACK information in the TCP header to inflate the congestion window. With the reduced DUP ACKs from the TCP receiver to the TCP transmitter, the impact of TCP DUP ACKs on the data rate from the TCP receiver to the TCP transmitter is substantially reduced.
