ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for transmitting to a network comprises a queue, packetization logic, interface logic, and queue logic. The packetization logic is configured to packetize data into a plurality of data packets and to store, to the queue, entries pointing to the data packets. The interface logic is configured to read the entries from the queue. The interface logic, for each of the read entries, is configured to retrieve one of the packets pointed to by the read entry and to transmit the retrieved packet to a network socket. The queue logic is configured to limit, based on a number of retransmission requests detected by the queue logic, a number of entries that the packetization logic may store to the queue during a particular time period thereby controlling a transmission rate of the apparatus.
