Methods and protocol for simultaneous tuning of reliable and non-reliable channels of a single network communication link

摘要: An application layer protocol supports reliable and non-reliable message transfer between a local remote computer on shared communications link. The uses transport to implement both channels over the When programs want send data messages, they designate as such, sends in messages with request for acknowledgement. non-critical data, that are not re-sent when dropped. Though it does ensure delivery of selectively acknowledge gather operational about requests acknowledgement dual purpose ensuring maintaining characteristics used tune In particular, detect link saturation, calculate outbound bandwidth, wait time clearing backlogged adjusting rate based calculated bandwidth. This scheme enables adapt varying conditions.
