SYMPTOMS
The TCP_NODELAY option, invoked through the winsock setsockopt call, does not work correctly. When setting the TCP_NODELAY option, the setsockopt call will return succesfully, but the Nagle algorithm (RFC 896) will still be applied to the connection.



CAUSE
This may cause some delay in the transmission of packets, and may have a detrimental effect on the performance of some applications.



RESOLUTION
Fixed in 2.10 QFE #3, and 2.11 QFE #10



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
