Abstract
This paper presents a novel design of a TCP frame. Unlike the original design, proposed design does not include 32 bit acknowledgment number field. This modified TCP design is discussed with the help of state diagrams, pseudo code, general equations and computer simulations. A comparison is then made between suggested and original design for simplex, duplex and pipelined case. The result clearly indicates that our design provides same kind of functionality for any case but with reduced header size. This reduction of header size decreases transmission time, increases bandwidth efficiency which in return increases throughput.
