dear all,

within our company have inhouse developed applications which communicate on loopback adapter when resided on same box. raised question if methods nagle , tcp delayed acks apply such adapters, still tcp communication. found in msdn library nagle not applied loopback adapters. case tcp delayed acks? relevant article in msdn library not mentions how loopback adapters treated.

so far found articles on internet discuss tcp delayed acks , loopback adapters unix , linux systems.

here articles msdn
