Abstract :
The paper presents an improved version of CLAMP, a system that controls the behavior of TCP to enhance the performance of wireless access points. It only requires modifications to be made to the access network, and is totally compatible with TCP senders. We demonstrate its performance by simulation, and provide insight into the stability of the algorithm via analysis.
