ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, computer readable media and signal embodied in a carrier wave for controlling the rate at which data packets are transmitted from a source responsive to acknowledgement signals in a packet network involves adjusting an acknowledgement rate at which acknowledgement signals are sent to the source, in response to the difference between target queue occupancy and measured queue occupancy of a queue buffer in which data packets from the source are received.
