Selective transmission concealer and method of performing selective transmission concealment

摘要

"SELECTIVE TRANSMISSION DISSIMULATOR AND METHOD OF PERFORMING SELECTIVE TRANSMISSION DISSIMULATION". A method and device to increase the performance of a network by performing selective transmission concealment. Selective broadcast concealment provides the ability to discriminate between different connections and allocate only broadcast concealment resources to those connections for which broadcast concealment will effectively improve performance. The selective broadcast masking functions described are applicable to a wide variety of communication links, including both slow and fast links, high latency links and links with low and high error rates. The selective transmission masking functions can be implemented individually or in combination with other performance-enhancing features, such as masking the establishment of three-way communication from conventional TCP, local data recognition, multiplexing of multiple connections over a single connection, data compression / encoding, prioritization and trajectory selection. The selective transmission masking characteristics described are particularly useful for links with high latency and / or high bit error rates.
