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 maximum segment size (MSS)
  • Repository:
  • About Me: I’m a Master of Engineering student at Jadavpur University, Kolkata. I have my interest in application development and competitive coding. And I also love to contribute to open sources. I have developed several app development projects on the MERN stack. And I extensively use C++ and its powerful STL libraries for problem-solving related to competitive coding. I started working with ns-3 while doing my final year project of M.E. and eventually grew my interest in computer networks as well. Sometimes I draw random sketches and portraits during my free time, which I take as a hobby. I enjoy doing all my work listening to music because it boosts my brain, so I low-key consider myself a music lover too.
