[e2e] tcp questions

Gents,

I have some questions on traces captured on a tcp session.
This may be the right place where to address my doubts.
I thank in advance anyone who mhy give me some hint.
Scenario is a Sender and a Receiver, with the sender sending a stored video
file. Receiver buffer is empty and "hungry" of data, 48180 is the maximum
advertised receiver window.

- From the first set of packets:
Doesn't it look the receiver is sending too few ACKs, somewhere in
literature, is described the stretch acks bug.
Might this be the case?
Would I improve (even a little) the throghput performance increasing the
number of ACKs?    

- From the Second set of packets
Frame n.2748 is retrasmitted in frame 2773, but the  receiver should have
received it! and no acks were lost since the receiver is always sending acks
as it hadn't received it. I was capturing on the receiver side with a hub.
Am I missing something?

-Finally, a question on Best Practice:
Given, Throughput = W / RTT, no packet loss and no other bottlenecks.
Solving for RTT, which is the best practice to impose a maximum network
delay requirements?


Thanks again

Riccardo
