Method and system for network data flow management
First Claim
1. A network data flow management device comprising:
- a working packet module configured to store data related to a data flow;
at least one network interface connected to the working packet module for receiving and sending data related to data flows;
a processor configured to;
receive data from the working packet module and determine if the data flow matches a predetermined protocol; and
if the data flow matches the predetermined protocol, send predictive acknowledgments based on the data flow via the network interface;
wherein the predictive acknowledgement is sent after waiting a hold-off time and before receiving data that the acknowledgment is acknowledging.
