"We propose that receiving of an 802.11 ACK is a reliable hint that
the corresponding TCP segments will eventually be processed by the
receiver’s transport layer. On receipt of an 802.11 ACK from the
wireless client, the AP will proactively generate a fake TCP ACK on
behalf of the TCP receiver, forwarding it to the TCP sender. This
results in the TCP ACKs arriving sooner at the sender, eliminating the
delay variation induced by medium contention at the receiver. Since
the receiver will still send a TCP ACK, these now-duplicate TCP ACKs
should be suppressed by the AP. The TCP sender is thus shielded in the
revers..."
