'''Nagle's algorithm''' is a means of improving the efficiency of [[TCP/IP]] networks by reducing the number of packets that need to be sent over the network. It was defined by John Nagle while working for [[Ford Aerospace]]. It was published in 1984 as a [[Request for Comments]] (RFC) with title ''Congestion Control in IP/TCP Internetworks'' in {{IETF RFC|896}}.
