ABSTRACT:
A device that queues and transmits data packets is described. This device includes: a queue configured to store data packets awaiting transmission; a controller configured to dynamically determine an order in which the data packets are transmitted from the queue; and a transmission mechanism configured to transmit the data packets from the queue in the determined order. The transmission order is determined using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sequence numbers and/or TCP timestamps contained in the data packets in the queue in order to provide increased utility without reducing existing fairness between independent data streams.
