Abstract: The present disclosure generally discloses a congestion control capability for use in communication systems (e.g., to provide congestion control over wireless links in wireless systems, over wireline links in wireline systems, and so forth). The congestion control capability may be configured to provide congestion control for a transport flow of a transport connection, sent from a transport flow sender to a transport flow receiver, based on flow control associated with the transport flow. The transport flow may traverse a flow queue of a link buffer of a link endpoint. The link endpoint may provide to the transport flow sender, via an off-band signaling channel, an indication of the saturation state of the flow queue of the transport flow. The transport flow sender may control transmission of packets of the transport flow based on the indication of the saturation state of the flow queue of the transport flow.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally discloses a networked transport layer socket capability. The networked transport layer socket capability, for transport layer connection of a communication device attached to a network access device, moves the transport layer connection endpoint of the transport layer connection of the communication device (which also may be referred to as a client transport layer socket of the transport layer connection of the communication device) from the communication device into the network access device.
