Abstract
The invention includes a method for determining a window size for a connection. One method according to the invention includes determining a peak information rate for the connection, determining a round trip time for the connection, and determining the window size using the peak information rate and the round trip time. Another method includes determining a token bucket size of a token bucket in response to detecting a condition associated with the token bucket and determining the window size using the token bucket size. Another method includes determining a plurality of connection window sizes for each of a plurality of connections. In this embodiment, the connection window sizes are determined by distributing a total window size across the plurality of connections. A determined window size may be communicated to at least one of a sender of the connection, a receiver of the connection, and a policing module.
