Abstract

Embodiments as disclosed provided methods or systems for sending data over a network. Specifically, in certain embodiments, data is received and a datagram comprising at least a portion of the data can be created and sent to a terminal. Control data can be received from the terminal and the sending of the data to the terminal adjusted based on the received control data. In certain embodiments both the datagram and the control data may be sent over an unreliable protocol. Thus, embodiments as disclosed may provide an increased level of reliability and adaptability to differing network conditions in conjunction with the use of an unreliable protocol.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a computing device coupled to a network, including;

a processor; and

a computer readable medium comprising instructions executable to implement a protocol module, the protocol module configured to;

receive data for transmission;

create a first packet comprising at least a portion of the data;

send the first packet using an unreliable protocol;

receive control data sent using the unreliable protocol; and

adjust the transmission of the data based on the control data.
