Abstract

See full text

A datagram flow optimizer apparatus comprises a buffer resource capable of receiving and temporarily storing a plurality of datagrams in respect of a forward path. The apparatus also comprises and a buffer controller arranged to implement, when in use, buffering of received datagrams by the buffer resource until a predetermined threshold number of datagrams has been stored by the buffer resource. The apparatus further comprises an acknowledgement regulator arranged to use the buffer resource to manipulate temporal spacing between acknowledgements of datagrams on a reverse path. The buffer controller is arranged to permit forwarding on the forward path of datagrams stored by the buffer resource in response to the predetermined threshold number of stored datagrams being reached.
