|
| Use Nagle Algorithm to send emails | The Nagle Algorithm inhibits the dispatch of to many little
TCP Segments. This algorithm is often called Small-Packet-
Avoidance-Algorithm. Through the Nagle Algorithm the TCP packages are
buffered till a full data segment can be transmitted. Trough an other
control algorithm the length can be reduced. Both algorithms are
responsible for an essentially relief of the strain on the transmitter
layer.
