However, traffic analysis shows that these streams usually have small packets and a low packet rate, and that in case of loss, severe latency penalties occur for all existing TCP variations in Linux. In this demonstration, we show how small, efficient TCP enhancements greatly improve the perceived quality of such low latency, interactive applications.}, year = {2008}, journal = {Network and Operating Systems Support for Digital Audio and Video (NOSSDAV 2008)}, pages = {127-128}, month = {May}, publisher = {ACM}, isbn = {978-1-60588-157-6}, note = {short paper and demo}, editor = {Carsten Griwodz and Lars Wolf}, }
