Abstract

See full text

A method for data flow rate detection useful with data flow rate control is introduced into a TCP packet communication environment which does not have data rate supervision by computing presumed speed based on latency between packets during the initial interchange of synchronization (SYN) packet and the acknowledgement (ACK) packet, presuming to know the initial length of each. This information may be utilized to determine potential rate of data flow for further use in making bandwidth allocation and rate enforcement decisions.
