  • TCP Performance problems caused be interaction between Nagle's Algorithm and Delayed ACK – The overall summary is that many of the mechanisms that make TCP so great, like fast retransmit, work best when there's a continuous flow of data for the TCP state machine to work on. If you send a block of data and then stop and wait for an application-layer acknowledgment from the other end, the state machine can falter.
