Delayed acknowledgements<br />

Rather than sending an ACK immediately, TCP waits ~200ms hoping that there<br />

will be data in the reverse direction - thus enabling a piggybacked ACK.<br />

• Host Requirements RFC states the delays must be less than 500ms<br />

• Implementations often use a periodic 200ms timer - rather than setting<br />

a timer specifically <strong>for</strong> computing this delay<br />

• similar to the periodic 500ms timer used <strong>for</strong> detecting timeouts<br />

A complex protocol with several timers leads to complex behavior!<br />
