Nagling Coalescence
<networking, algorithm> An algorithm for improving TCP/IP network
performance by combining small packets ("tinygrams") into larger ones, thus
reducing the per-packet overhead. The server transmits the packet either when it
has reached a preset size or when it receives an acknowledgment of the previous
packet.
