| To enable the Nagle congestion control algorithm, use the "service nagle" global configuration command.
What is service nagle then?
Its a congestion control algorithm that is designed to save the keystrokes by buffering the keystrokes you type on a router/switch so that they don't have to be repeated on it. Basically it was developed from unix platform it appears. | |

You've GOT to be kidding!!! The Nagle algorithm was designed to "save the keystrokes... so they don't have to be repeated"?! ROTFLOL  You're clueless, pal...
The Nagle algorithm was designed to deal with the situation when many small packets are sent over TCP, aka the "silly window syndrom" on the sender side. What you have in mind is most likely the classical example for this situation, i.e. a telnet session, when each keystroke generates one byte that is sent in a TCP segment. You end up sending 41 bytes over the network for one useful byte. The Nagle algorithm solves the problem by buffering (under certain conditions) a number of bytes, instead of sending them as soon as they arrive at the TCP layer.
Geez, man, go buy yourself a good networking book! | |

| dmaftei,
I actually tried giving a simplest ever possible explanation for the command on the fly and never thought of going bit more technical while posting.
Now, thanks for your background technical info and I think you really fulfilled the posting now.

Simplest doesn't have to be wrong, my friend... | |

| Why give a simple example on a CCNP forum? | |

| Cooldown Suresh.
When did you complete your CCIE?
Last time I heard that you were in Sydney and studying for CCIE.
Anyhow, Congratulations.
Better late than none. |
