ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, methods and apparatus are provided to improve the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for data such as delay sensitive or bursty data. A maximum send window and a minimum send window are set to correspond to maximum and minimum bandwidth parameters associated with a network. Round trip times are monitored to adjust maximum send windows and minimum send windows. A variable rate shaper is also used to pace packet introduction onto the network.
