TDF: Timeout Decrease Factor

Timeout Decrease Factor (TDF) is an ATM ABR service parameter. TDF controls the decrease in ACR associated with TOF. TDF is in units of 1/seconds. For ABR traffic, TDF effects the time rate of change of the ACR. This value effects TCP round trip time calculations, which in turn effects TCP throughput.
