Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that monitor one or more messages generated by an application or one or more characteristics of one or more transmission control protocol (TCP) connections with a destination device or a source device. A determination is made when a first TCP push flag should be set for a first packet associated with data based on the monitoring. The data is provided by the application. The first TCP push flag for the first packet is set prior to the first packet being sent to the destination device via a first one of the TCP connections, based on the determination that the first TCP push flag should be set for the first packet. Accordingly, this technology more effectively manages TCP push functionality to reduce acknowledgement messages (ACKs) and thereby improve network bandwidth and device resource utilization.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that monitor at least one TCP connection. A determination is made when an established configuration for the TCP connection requires modification based on the monitoring. The established configuration corresponds to utilization of Nagle's algorithm for the TCP connection. The established configuration is automatically modified to enable or disable utilization of Nagle's algorithm for the TCP connection, when the determination indicates that the established configuration requires modification. By automatically toggling utilization of Nagle's algorithm for a TCP connection, the TCP connection can advantageously be dynamically optimized with this technology with respect to performance metrics such as latency and bandwidth efficiency.
