I thought Selective ACKs were important for streaming, though?

Disabling Slow Start might also be worth considering.

Totally agree, Nagle's can cause delays in streaming!

I think Reset on Timeout is more about connection stability than performance. I don't see how that would help with slow video loading.

I feel like Selective ACKs were important for optimizing TCP, but I can't recall if disabling them would actually help in this scenario.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think disabling Slow Start could also improve performance. We had a practice question about that, right?

I remember we discussed how disabling Nagle's Algorithm can help with latency in streaming applications. That might be the right choice here.

Disabling Reset on Timeout could be an interesting approach, but I'm not sure that's the root cause of the slow video loading.

I'm leaning towards disabling Nagle's Algorithm. That could help reduce latency for the streaming traffic.

Okay, let's see. Disabling Slow Start could help with the initial connection, but that might not be the full issue here.

Hmm, this one seems tricky. I'll need to think through the different TCP settings and how they impact streaming performance.

Hey guys, did you try turning it off and on again? Just kidding, but you know what they say - the answer is always the one you least expect!

Reset on Timeout? That's an interesting one. Could be worth a try, but I feel like we might be barking up the wrong tree here. Maybe we need to take a step back and really analyze the problem.

Nagle's Algorithm? That's a classic networking trick, but I'm not sure it's the right fix for a streaming app. Might be worth a shot, but I'd be curious to hear what the others think.

Disabling Selective ACKs? That could be a good idea, but I'm not sure it's the root cause of the issue. Might be worth trying, but I'd double-check the other options first.
