Abstract

See full text

Control of background data transfers is described. In an embodiment, a background data transfer is controlled at a receiver node by measuring a time period taken to receive from a sender node a data sequence of the same size as a receive window. The time period is used to evaluate available network capacity, and the network capacity used to calculate a new window size. The new window size is applied and communicated to the sender node. In another embodiment, a background data transfer is controlled at a receiver node by measuring a quantity of data received from a sender node during a first control interval. The measured quantity is used to evaluate available network capacity, and the network capacity used to calculate a new receive window size and a second control interval duration. The new window size is applied for the second control interval, and communicated to the sender node.
