Further suppose that the path includes a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit, so the round trip delay through the path is at least 500 ms, and the delay-bandwidth product is 9.7 megabytes or more. If we further assume the TCP implementations support TCP Large Windows and PAWS (many do), so they can manage 9.7 MB TCP window, then we can be sure the TCP will eventually start sending at full path rate (unless the satellite channel is very lossy). But it may take a long time to get the TCP up to full speed.}, }
