TCP ve Latency - Gecikme

Giriş
TCP gecikmenin çok olduğu ortamlarda iyi çalışmıyor.

Store-and-Forward Protocol
Açıklaması şöyle.

With TCP, when a router receives a packet, it immediately sends it on to the next hop—or, if it can't, rejects it and sends back an error.

With a store-and-forward protocol, when a router receives a packet, it looks up the next time it expects to be able to talk to the next hop (possibly choosing from among multiple possibilities based on how big the packet is, what its QoS tags say, etc.) and stores it until then.

Store-and-forward goes back to SMTP, NNTP, UUCP, and other protocols from before the public internet.
