Thanks a lot, Brian.

I tested the same and found no major difference.
Thanks.

rgds,
Prince

That statement is untrue: cwnd increase is not based on SACK
count. See RFC 4960 Section 7.2.2. A SACK does not cause an
increase in cwnd unless it acknowledges cwnd or more bytes and
there were cwnd or more bytes outstanding before the SACK
arrived.

Therefore, assuming that 20 chunks fill an MTU:

1) No bundling: the sender sends 80 packets, 1 chunk per packet,
one packet at a time. The 80 packets must be sent before the
first SACK arrives; also for each arriving SACK another one
or two packets must be sent, 1 chunk each, (otherwise cwnd
will not increase at all). After the 80'th SACK arrives
(assuming for argument's sake that each packet is SACK'ed),
cwnd will increase by 1 MTU.

2) Bundling: the sender sends 4 packets, 20 chunks per packet,
one packet at a time. The 4 packets must be sent before the
first SACK arrives; also for each arriving SACK another one
or two packets must be sent, 20 chunks each, (otherwise cwnd
will not increase at all). After the 4'th SACK arrives
(again assuming no delayed SACK), cwnd will increase by 1
MTU.

In the case of a bandwidth-limited link, bundling will increase
cwnd faster because only data is counted for cwnd calculations
and not packet headers. No bundling wastes the avialable
bandwidth with an excessive number of packet headers.
