Out-of-Order Packet Delivery<br />

Out-of-order (OOO) delivery may occur due to:<br />

Route changes<br />

Link layer retransmissions schemes that deliver OOO<br />

Significantly OOO delivery confuses TCP, triggering<br />

fast retransmit<br />

Potential solutions:<br />

Deterministically prefer one route over others, even if<br />

multiple routes are known<br />

Reduce OOO delivery by re-ordering received packets<br />

• can result in unnecessary delay in presence of packet<br />

loss<br />

Turn off fast retransmit<br />

• can result in poor performance in presence of congestion<br />
