  • Patent number: 9867068
    Abstract: TCP sessions passing through a network, such as a wireless network, may be optimized based on conditions corresponding to the radio interface of the wireless network. In one implementation, a method may include monitoring, by a base station, performance parameters relating to a radio access network (RAN); determining, based on the performance parameters, one or more protocol data units (PDUs) to retransmit; determining one or more Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sessions and packet sequence numbers corresponding to the one or more PDUs; and transmitting, to a network device, an indication to retransmit packets corresponding to the one or more TCP sessions and packet sequence numbers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9444683
    Abstract: A device receives packet information associated with a traffic flow and a network segment. The network segment includes a portion of a network via which the traffic flow is transmitted. The device associates the received packet information with a period of time. The device determines that the period of time has expired, and aggregates the received packet information based on determining that the period of time has expired. The device determines a network performance parameter associated with the traffic flow over the network segment based on the aggregated packet information. The device generates performance information that identifies the network performance parameter, the traffic flow, and the network segment. The device provides the performance information.
