Sockets, IP, and Port Addresses Blocking and Non-Blocking Sockets TCP Nagle Algorithm |
TCP Nagle AlgorithmThis algorithm specifies that a TCP data packet which is smaller than the maximum segment size may not be sent while there is outstanding a small data segment which has not been acknowledged. This option may be enabled/disabled by function setsockopt (the default value is enabled). This is typically disabled by TELNET to ensure characters typed are sent immediately.
