An Overview of Packet Reordering in Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): Problems, Solutions, and Challenges
2007
IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most popular transport layer protocol for the Internet. Due to various reasons, such as multipath routing, route fluttering, and retransmissions, packets belonging to the same flow may arrive out of order at a destination. Such packet reordering violates the design principles of some traffic control mechanisms in TCP and, thus, poses performance problems. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive and in-depth survey on recent research on packet
