Nagle's algorithm is a TCP optimization technique that reduces network packet overhead by buffering small outgoing messages, but it can introduce latency when combined with delayed ACK. The article explains the algorithm's mechanics, its problematic interactions with other TCP features, and how to disable it via TCP_NODELAY for latency-sensitive applications.
