Abstract

See full text

The size of packet payloads are varied according to the amount of congestion in a packet network. More data is put in packet payloads when more congestion exits in the packet network. When network congestion is high, less network bandwidth is available for transmitting packets. Accordingly, the packet payloads are transmitted with larger payloads to reduce the percentage of overhead in each packet. When there is little or no network congestion smaller packet payloads are transmitted. The additional overhead created in transmitting smaller packets is acceptable when there is little or no network congestion because the network currently has excess bandwidth. Thus, the packet payloads are dynamically adjusted to use network resources more effectively.
