Window size is of course critical, but it turns out that MTU also impacts rates (as much as 33%, see below): MSS 0.7 Rate = ----- * ------- RTT (P)**0.5 MSS = Maximum Segment Size RTT = Round Trip Time P = packet loss
So am I to understand that with 0 packetloss I get infinite rate? And TCP window size doesn't affect the rate?
I am quite confused by this statement. Yes, under congestion larger MSS is better, but without congestion I don't see where it would differ apart from the interrupt load I mentioned earlier?
