Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A window regulator for improving the performance of communications networks is described. In a communications network, data is sent downstream from a sender to a receiver, and acknowledgements are sent back upstream. When data is received at the receiver, the data is placed in a buffer and an acknowledgement of receipt may be sent. If no acknowledgement is received by a sender after a certain period of time, the sender retransmits the data. The receiver communicates how much data the receiver is willing to receive at any given time by sending an advertised window to the sender. The window regulator sets the size of the advertised window based on measurements of capacity in the network to improve the amount and rate of data sent downstream while avoiding loss of data and subsequent retransmissions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that are executable, by one or more processors, cause the processors to set a size of an advertised window for a receiving electronic device that receives data from a sender in a communications network, the communications network comprising a core network, an access network, and a bottleneck node interacting with the communications network through a first connection bet…
