Abstract
A network device is configured to identify a configured maximum segment size value, for a wireless access network associated with the network device, which is calculated to prevent fragmentation over the wireless access network. The network device is configured to receive, from a first computing device, a synchronization message including an initial maximum segment size value for a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket connection between the first computing device and a second computing device that uses the wireless access network. When the initial maximum segment size value is larger than the configured maximum segment size value, the network device is configured to replace the initial maximum segment size value with the configured maximum segment size value to create a modified synchronization message, and send the modified synchronization message to the second computing device for establishing the TCP socket connection.
