  • Abstract
    In GPRS networks, excessive buffering has a negative effect on TCP as the round trip times become very long. Measurements with different buffer settings indicate that the queueing delay can be reduced by orders of magnitude with a smaller buffer, without significantly degrading TCP throughput. The measurements are conducted in a GPRS testbed consisting of real network nodes.
