ABSTRACT:
Signals (e.g., for audio/video conferencing) are divided into data packets for transmission from a local node to a remote node. The transmission of the data packets is delayed to transmit then at intervals to avoid overloading the remote node with data packets that it does not have the bandwidth to receive and/or process. The invention helps prevent the remote node from dropping data packets which may otherwise occur when transmitting audio and/or video signals during a session (e.g., an audio/video conferencing session).
