Subject: Delayed acks in Linux 2.2.14
Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2001 14:52:59 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <01071814525900.00834@patdpd21.intranet.gr> (raw)

Hi everyone,

I am studying delayed acks in linux 2.2.14 and i come to the following 
conclusions.

In bulk data transfer between two linux boxes i never saw a delayed ack. The 
server sends an ack every 2 full sized segments. This is fine but in 
transactional data transfer (e.g. a telnet session) i also do not see a 
delayed ack. What i see is this:

1. Client sends a character
2. Server echoes the character
3. Client sends an ack for the echo

The time between segment 2 and 3 is never above 20ms even when i have a large 
RTT (say 560 ms). This is a small delay(??) but its not enough to say that 
the ack is delayed. I also could never see the max delay of HZ/2 on an ACK. 
So delaying an ack does not depend on the RTT of the connection. Is that 
correct? And if yes where does it depend? Has anyone seen the HZ/2 delay on 
an ACK?

Thank you in advance

Tasos
