Abstract
A device can transmit, to a transmission control protocol (TCP) receiver, a quantity of packets based on a congestion window (CWND) value. The device can receive, from the TCP receiver, a quantity of acknowledgement (ACK) packets, that include a corresponding quantity of advertised receive window (RWND) values, based on transmitting the quantity of packets. The device can determine a maximum value for an updated CWND based on the CWND value and the corresponding quantity of RWND values. The device can provide a quantity of additional packets, to the TCP receiver, based on the maximum value for the updated CWND to cause the TCP receiver to selectively increase a size of a receive buffer.
