TransferDelay

Specify use of TCP segment transfer algorithm

Description

You can configureTransferDelaytoonoroff. IfTransferDelayison, small segments of outstanding data are collected and sent in a single packet when acknowledgment (ACK) arrives from the server. IfTransferDelayisoff, data is sent immediately to the network.

If a network is slow, you can improve its performance by configuringTransferDelaytoon. However, on a fast network acknowledgments arrive quickly and there is negligible difference between configuringTransferDelaytoonoroff.

Note that the segment transfer algorithm used byTransferDelayis Nagle's algorithm.
