Project Overview

  • Project Name: TCP maximum segment size (MSS) improvements
  • Student: Akash Mondal
  • Mentors: Mohit Tahiliani, Bhaskar Kataria, Vivek Jain
  • Google page: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2022/projects/QsOiooM7
  • Project Goals: TCP MSS directly influences the size of an IP packet. And an optimal packet size can highly improve the throughput of a network. Thus, the goal of this project is to dynamically change the MSS of a TCP connection, which can be done by the following setups:
    • Add Path MTU discovery support for IPv4
    • Communication layer between l3 and l4 protocols to send PMTU updates
    • Adapt TCP to support dynamic changes of the maximum segment size (MSS)
  • Repository:
