Abstract: A real-time data traffic optimization system is provided. The data traffic optimization system is configured to optimize data traffic between ingress and egress directions and includes a data traffic handler; a congestion window handler; and a controller block for coordinating the data traffic and data attributes in between the data traffic handler and the congestion window handler. The data optimization system further comprises a classifier for detecting and classifying incoming data traffic; a data monitor for monitoring and manipulating data attributes; and an adjuster for increasing and decreasing data congestion and adjusting the data transmitting and retransmitting time frame. The real-time data traffic optimization system can be embedded within a pluggable transceiver or an active optical cable.
