Efficient network transmission, especially in IPv6 since on-path fragmentation is not possible, depends on selecting the right packet size. The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) determines the largest packet size that can traverse a link and the Path MTU (PMTU) determines the size for an end-to-end path without fragmenta...

The current design derives the segment size from both the pacing rate and RTT, making it sensitive to noisy RTT conditions and potentially degrading performance, so segment sizing is redesigned to depend solely on the pacing_rate using three schemes—linear, exponential, and logarithmic.
