  • TCP acknowledge for aggregated packet
    Patent number: 8743884
    Abstract: A method and apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention are operable to detect the accumulation of redundant ACKs (acknowledgment signals) in a queue for streaming data packet units, and to delete a portion of the redundant ACKs to improve transmission efficiencies. In one embodiment, only the most relevant ACK is kept before the ACKs are processed for transmission. In an alternate embodiment, a ratio of defined that limits the maximum number of redundant ACKs that may be deleted. This ratio is based upon a transmission window size. The teachings of the present disclosure may also be applied to flow control in a more general sense in which a plurality of redundant signals responses are being transmitted after being aggregated.

  • Computer implemented method for assigning a back-off interval to an intermediary network access device
    Patent number: 7280554
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is a computer implemented method for assigning a back-off interval to an intermediary network access device in a Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) network. The number of client devices concurrently attempting to access said network via said intermediary network access device is first determined. The back-off interval is then determined based upon the number of client devices concurrently attempting to access the network via the intermediary network access device and is assigned to the intermediary network access device.
