Re: Push Function in RFC 793 [7:8756]

Remember that TCP only understands a byte stream, not the structure 
of application records within it. Brian is correct about one 
application for interactive traffic.

Another might be if you had, let's say, 2000 byte application 
records, but the window size had worked its way up to 64 K.  You 
might not want to wait for the window to fill before a given record 
was sent, so you might push it.  Doing so does not optimize 
throughput, but would improve application latency. Everything is a 
tradeoff.


From Comer's V1 3rd edition..

Looks like a way to force data transmission, 1 quoted use is after each
keystroke of an interacive application.

  Could someone give me a brief decription of the PSH:  Push Function in
TCP?

   Control Bits:  6 bits (from left to right):

  URG:  Urgent Pointer field significant
  ACK:  Acknowledgment field significant
  PSH:  Push Function
  RST:  Reset the connection
  SYN:  Synchronize sequence numbers
   FIN:  No more data from sender
