Method and system for improved network performance by dynamically setting a reassembly timer

The reassembly timer in a TCP/IP receiver is dynamically set to avoid data corruption on fast networks caused by IP identification wrap-around. A receiver independently sets the reassembly timer to a first reassembly time set by the user for fast networks or to a second reassembly timer set by the u...

Zusammenfassung:The reassembly timer in a TCP/IP receiver is dynamically set to avoid data corruption on fast networks caused by IP identification wrap-around. A receiver independently sets the reassembly timer to a first reassembly time set by the user for fast networks or to a second reassembly timer set by the user for slow networks based on whether the receiver and sender are on the same subnet.
