Understanding the performance of TCP pacing
Abstract
Many researchers have observed that TCP's congestion control mechanisms can lead to bursty traffic flows on modern high-speed networks, with a negative impact on overall network efficiency. A proposed solution to this problem is to evenly space, or "pace", data sent into the network over an entire round-trip time, so that data is not sent in a burst. In this paper, we quantitatively evaluate this approach. Pacing offers better fairness, throughput, and lower drop rates in some situations. However, we show that contrary to intuition, pacing often has significantly worse throughput than regular TCP because it is susceptible to synchronized losses and it delays congestion signals. We propose and evaluate approaches for eliminating this effect.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
