Hello, I have a question about the TCP delayed ack implementation in FreeBSD 6.1 According to specs, if delayed acks are enabled, the receiver delays transmitting acks for the delack time period or acks every other incoming packet. I have an experimental setup where: - RTT between server & client ~90ms. - one-way data transmission from server to client. - tcp delayed acks enabled - delacktimer = 200ms. - tcp inflight (BDP) calculation is disabled. From tcpdump at client side: Time: 38s.695ms: S->C data (282b) Time: 38s.707ms: S->C data (1448b) Time: 38s.707ms: C->S ack Time: 38s.719ms: S->C data (1448b) Time: 38s.719ms: C->S ack Time: 38s.731ms: S->C data (1448b) Time: 38s.741ms: S->C data (1166b) Time: 38s.741ms: C->S ack I do not understand the reason for the second ack from C->S (Time 38s.719ms). Clearly this ack has not delayed for 200ms from the previous ack and acks only 1 packet. Am I missing something? Thanks a ton, Preethi
