Abstract

See full text

A system and method for controlling data transmission between computer systems is suitable for use at the OSI session level of structured network architectures. A receiving logical unit can dynamically control packet window sizes to optimize its resources. In the sending logical unit, the number of packets which may be sent by a single session, but not yet acknowledged at the data link control level, is limited. This results in all sessions in the system having a relatively fair access to a single communications link. The number of packets allowed for any given session need not have any relationship to the window size in an adaptive session level pacing environment.
