1. A computer-based method of dynamically adjusting packet size to decrease a delay of a streaming data transmission, said method comprising:

  • obtaining a first measurement by a measuring computing unit, wherein said first measurement is selected from the group consisting of a delay of a streaming data transmission being sent from a data transmission server to a client computing unit via a plurality of packets and a frequency of damaged packets of said plurality of packets, said damaged packets contributing to said delay of said streaming data transmission, and wherein said measuring computing unit is said data transmission server or said client computing unit; and

    adjusting a packet size by said data transmission server, said packet size being a size associated with each packet of said plurality of packets, said adjusting said packet size including utilizing said first measurement and facilitating a reduction of said delay,wherein said delay results from noise on one or more communication link segments over which said streaming data transmission is sent from said data transmission server to said client computing unit.
