ABSTRACT
At CITI, we run dataless AFS clients over dialup IP net-
works. Improving Rx performance is critical to that task.
In this paper, we report on our progress in adapting Rx to
networks characterized by low bandwidth, high delay, or
variable round-trip time. Our focus is on adding facilities
for congestion avoidance and control, and on compressing Rx
headers. Although our work is ongoing, we have overcome
several hurdles, and are now getting impressive data
transfer rates over ordinary dialup lines.
