First Claim
1. A method for providing layered gear mechanism to enable optimal transmission of data packets, comprising:
- identifying types of data that are scheduled for transmission over a network;
generating data packets of different depths for a particular type of data identified for transmission, at a source;
transmitting the data packets of different depths in different layers over the network to a destination, each layer of data packets corresponding to a specific depth;
collecting response for the data packets transmitted in each layer, from the network, as the data packets progress along the network;
analyzing the collected response for the data packets transmitted in each layer to identify one or more network transmission characteristics of each layer, the one or more network transmission characteristics identifying one or more transmission metrics associated with each layer; and
selecting a specific one of the different depths for transmitting subsequent data packets for the particular type of data based on the analyzing,wherein operations are performed by a processor.

Abstract
Methods for providing layered gear mechanism to enable optimal transmission of data packets includes identifying types of data that are scheduled for transmission over a network. Data packets are generated at different depths for a particular type of data identified for transmission, wherein the data packets are generated at a source. The data packets of different depths are transmitted in different layers over a network, to a destination, wherein each layer of data packets corresponds to a specific depth. Response for the data packets transmitted in each layer is collected from the network as the data packets progress along the network. The response is analyzed to identify network transmission characteristics for each layer. A depth is selected for transmitting subsequent data packets for the particular data type based on the network transmission characteristics obtained through the analysis.
