ABSTRACT:
An InterPacket Gap (IPG) timer software object is given data packets, aka datagrams, from a system for transmission over a network medium. The IPG timer interfaces with a system-supplied timing mechanism for introducing an IPG between transmitted datagrams. Datagrams given to the IPG timer are enqueued for delivery, and, through the use of the system-supplied timer mechanism, delivered in the same order in which they were received to the network medium with a minimum time interval between the transmission of one datagram and the end of the transmission of the previous datagram.
