Abstract

This publication describes a hardware-based approach for an adaptive acknowledgment request mechanism with rate limiting within a reliable transport protocol offload engine. The approach aims to balance low upper layer protocol operation latency and timely congestion feedback against the overhead of excessive acknowledgment packets.

Keywords include acknowledgment request, rate limiting, reliable transport protocol, offload engine, upper layer protocol, congestion control, and packet sequence number.
