TCP-fox is a new flow control method for TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) which allows the sender of a connection to send packets over the receive window advertised by the receiver to obtain higher throughput. However, TCP-fox has the problem that it halts sending packets when the receiver uses a receive buffer auto tuning mechanism. In this paper, we investigate the cause of the halting and present a way to avoid it.
