Abstract: The present technology pertains to unilaterally interleaving individual data packets of long bursts of multi-packet messages in various sequence patterns to be sent to one or more receivers over a network. Before determining a pattern, the sending device attempts to reduce the transmission length of the long bursts of the data packets into multiple chunks. Subsequently, the sending device generates a sequence pattern of the individual data packets and consecutively transmits these packets to their respective receivers. The determined sequence pattern may be based upon outbound limits at the sender, inbound limits at the one or more receivers, and various transmission priorities. Moreover, the sender may limit the data flow of any message transmission. The present technology does not require feedback from the network's components or from the network itself to micro flow control the individual data packets.
