Patent number: 12048032Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods which increase the throughput of a TCP-based communication between a first network node and a second network node. First, the first network node sent a first plurality of TCP segments to the second network node. Second, when the second network node receives a second plurality of TCP segments, which is all or part of the first plurality of the TCP segments, the second network node responds by sending one or more TCP acknowledgements to the first network node with the last sequence number of a last segment among all TCP segment within the second plurality of TCP segments. The present disclosure are able to increase the throughput of a TCP connection while decreasing its reliability.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Pismo Labs Technology LimitedInventors: Patrick Ho Wai Sung, Kam Chiu Ng, Wan Chun Leung
