PACING NETWORK PACKET TRANSMISSION USING AT LEAST PARTIALLY UNCORRELATED NETWORK EVENTS

摘要

sending computing system sends a number of network packets to the receiving computing system over a specific network connection. If the sending computing system to transmit a packet using TCP feedback events (e.g., acknowledgment message), the non-correlation in order to extract a soft timer that schedules transmissions based at least in part on the uncorrelated network events such as The monitoring network events. Since all network connections potentially using addition, events and packet transmission on a particular connection is less correlated. Next, the extracted timer is used to pace the packets being transmitted over the particular connection is used. Packet to be transmitted can be marked in a manner that controls the frequency of the uncorrelated network events being monitored.
