RFC2398 - Some Testing Tools for TCP Implementors

This document lists only tools which can evaluate one or more TCP implementations, or which can privde some specific results which describe or evaluate the TCP being tested. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.

RFC2414 - Increasing TCP's Initial Window

This document specifies an increase in the permitted initial window for TCP from one segment to roughly 4K bytes. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.

RFC2415 - Simulation Studies of Increased Initial TCP Window Size

This document covers some simulation studies of the effects of increasing the initial window size of TCP. This memo provides information for the Internet community.

RFC2416 - When TCP Starts Up With Four Packets Into Only Three Buffers

This memo is to document a simple experiment. The experiment showed that in the case of a TCP receiver behind a 9600 bps modem link at the edge of a fast Internet where there are only 3 buffers before the modem (and the fourth packet of a four-packet start will surely be dropped), no significant degradation in performance is experienced by a TCP sending with a four-packet start when compared with a normal slow start (which starts with just one packet). This memo provides information for the Internet community.

RFC2525 - Known TCP Implementation Problems

This memo catalogs a number of known TCP implementation problems. This memo provides information for the Internet community.

RFC2581 - TCP Congestion Control

This document defines TCP's four intertwined congestion control algorithms: slow start, congestion avoidance, fast retransmit, and fast recovery. In addition, the document specifies how TCP should begin transmission after a relatively long idle period, as well as discussing various acknowledgment generation methods. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

RFC2582 - The NewReno Modification to TCP's Fast Recovery Algorithm

This document describes a specific algorithm for responding to partial acknowledgments, referred to as NewReno. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.

RFC2923 - TCP Problems with Path MTU Discovery

This memo catalogs several known Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) implementation problems dealing with Path Maximum Transmission Unit Discovery (PMTUD), including the long-standing black hole problem, stretch acknowlegements (ACKs) due to confusion between Maximum Segment Size (MSS) and segment size, and MSS advertisement based on PMTU. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
