TransferDelay
Specify use of TCP segment transfer algorithm
Description
You can configure TransferDelay
to on
or off
.
If TransferDelay
is on
, small
segments of outstanding data are collected and sent in a single packet
when acknowledgment (ACK) arrives from the server. If TransferDelay
is off
,
data is sent immediately to the network.
If a network is slow, you can improve its performance by configuring TransferDelay
to on
.
However, on a fast network acknowledgements arrive quickly and there
is negligible difference between configuring TransferDelay
to on
or off
.
Note that the segment transfer algorithm used by TransferDelay
is
Nagle's algorithm.
