Really, consider a link where the path carrying most of the data has a time of N and the path carrying the ack has a path 2N or N + 1/2N You are computing an average which seems like it could be skewed based on the path the ack takes. Does anyone know of any papers on the effect of asymetric paths on TCP performance? This is a subject I have been thinking about in my free time :) [email protected] | Disclaimer: Can you be sure I even uunet!eng.umd.edu!istari | exist: Let alone represent anyone Brad Passwaters (Network Ronin) | or anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here we are.
