CLAMP: Maximizing the performance of TCP over low bandwidth variable rate access links
January 2024 • Lachlan L. H. Andrew, Stephen V. Hanly, Rami G. Mukhtar
This paper presents CLAMP, a distributed algorithm to enhance the performance of TCP connections that terminate in a wireless access network. CLMAP works at a receiver to control a TCP sender by setting the TCP receiver's advertised window limit. Coupled with existing TCP sender side implementations and active queue management, CLAMP provides a complete end-to-end flow control scheme optimised for wireless access networks. CLAMP provides explicit control over wireless link utilisation and queueing delay, and allow…
