Abstract: A network device includes a network interface for establishing a communication session with another network device, a memory to store instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions. The processor may, for each time period during the communication session, adjust a size of a receive buffer of a socket. When the processor adjusts the size, the processor, if a utilization number of the receive buffer is greater than a high threshold: may determine a first new size for the receive buffer, and set a size of the receive buffer to the first new size. If the utilization number is less than a low threshold, the processor may determine a second new size for the receive buffer; and set the size of the receive buffer to the second new size.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network performance optimization service is provided.
