ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus that improves a data transmission rate in a TCP connection having an asymmetrical path. An intermediate node transmits a predetermined number k of data packets to a destination node, and measures a time period A between transmitting the k data packets and receiving a receipt acknowledgment signal at the intermediate node indicating receipt of the k data packets at the destination node. The intermediate node then transmits to a source node k acknowledgement signals with a time interval of A/k between each acknowledgement signal.
