A tunable slow start for TCP

Recently, there has been an interest in accelerating
the initial bandwidth discovery phase of TCP. In this paper
the feedback provided by TCP Acknowledgements (ACKs) does
not only mean (as in legacy TCP) that a single data packet
has gone out of the network, but also that new data packets
can be sent in bursts as opportunistically indicated by the
receiver. For this purpose, regular ACKs can be split so that an
acknowledged portion of a segment instructs the sender to open
more aggressively its congestion window. This article details the
implementation and testing of ACK division which has been used
so far to compensate the effect on TCP performance of random
losses, spurious timeouts and handovers at transport level. We
specifically show the benefits of using the ACK division in slow
start for long delay networks.
