1. A computer implemented method for identifying a minimum round trip time over a socket for use in transmitting data over a connection, the computer implemented method comprising:

  • sending two packets over the connection to an endpoint;

    responsive to receiving acknowledgments for the two packets, identifying round trip times for the two packets;

    sending two additional packets of the connection after round trip times for the two packets have been identified;

    responsive to receiving additional acknowledgments for the two additional packets, identifying additional round trip times for the two additional packets; and

    repeating the sending and identifying steps for a selected period of time, wherein a lowest round trip time identified for packets sent over the connection during the selected period of time is used as the minimum round trip time for use in sending data over the connection.
