Disable Nagle's Algorithm - Quant Developer Interview Question
Difficulty: Easy
Category: systems
Asked at: Jump Trading, Tower Research, Optiver, IMC, HRT
Topics: networking, tcp, latency, simulation
Problem Description
Low-latency trading systems often disable Nagle's Algorithm (TCP_NODELAY) to minimize the time between order generation and network transmission, avoiding the latency introduced by packet buffering. This problem simulates the behavior of a TCP sender to compare the transmission timestamps of buffered versus immediate packet dispatch strategies based on network constraints.
Task
Implement a TcpSender class that simulates packet transmission logic based on Nagle's algorithm and TCP_NODELAY settin
