Abstract:

We took measurements and verified the source of the problem as a non-synergistic interaction between the application, transport, and lower network layers. We modified the Kerberized rlogin ( klogin) to accommodate this situation, and will make the modifications publicly available. Since normal ascii text data is quite compressible, this modification could become important for ubiquitous low speed access.
